November 2008 Runoff Election 3 July 7, 2008 <br />Fiscal Impact <br />The cost of conducting the runoff election is anticipated to be much higher than originally <br />projected, in large part due to the increased use of paper ballots to meet the legal requirement for <br />a voter-verified paper audit trail, as well as the requirements imposed by the Secretary of State in <br />the conditional certification of the County's voting system. <br />Funding of $60,000 was approved in the FY 2008-09 General Fund budget. Based on an <br />estimate by the ROV of $2.90 per registered voter, the cost for the November 4, 2008 Special <br />Runoff Election is estimated to be $116,000. <br />Budget Authority <br />Approved in the FY 2008-09 Budget. <br />Attachments <br />Letter dated June 20, 2008 from Dave Macdonald, Alameda County Registrar of Voters, to <br />Marian Handa, San Leandro City Clerk, regarding estimated cost for November 4, 2008 Election. <br />CONCLUSION <br />A runoff election is required to be held to determine the successful candidate for City <br />Councilmember, District 2.
