The California Association of Clerks and Election Officials, or CACEO, has launched an election costs Web site, produced as a result of a generous grant from the James Irvine Foundation, and created in partnership with Q2 Consulting.
The newly launched Web site is located at http://results.caceoelectioncosts.org .
“Election costs vary from county to county and this new website is designed to assist the public in understanding election costs throughout California,” said Orange County Registrar of Voters and CACEO President Neal Kelley.
From polling places to poll workers – ballot production to multi-lingual support – you will be able to explore and compare costs dating back to 2004.
CACEO will continue to collect costs from counties for the 2016 Primary and General elections – updates will be posted in 2017.
“We are very happy to share the results of many months of work collecting and analyzing the costs data from California counties,” added Shasta County Clerk/Registrar of Voters Cathy Darling Allen. “Our hope is that, with Irvine's support, as this project grows over time, this information helps to illuminate the larger discussions about election reform both within California, and nationally.”
The site shows that information is unavailable for several counties, including Lake. Why Lake's wasn't available was not clear on Friday.
“We have 47 counties participating and we are hoping for more in 2017,” Kelley told Lake County News.
