FUTURE CONSIDERATIONS <br />The City Charter provides for the City Council to conduct a run-off election via an instant <br />run-off system. The technology to conduct such an election is available, but there are <br />currently no California State laws, regulations or rules on how to conduct the preferential <br />elections that would provide an instant run-off. <br />The Secretary of State, Bill Jones, has issued a letter to the Director of Elections, San <br />Francisco Department of Elections, regarding their recent ballot measure regarding <br />Instant Run -Off Voting. In that letter he refers to Elections Code Section 19201 which <br />provides that "No voting system, in whole or in part, shall be used unless it has received <br />the approval of the Secretary of State, prior to any election at which it is to be first used." <br />As of this date, the Secretary of State's office has not received an application for <br />certification of any instant run-off elections. <br />Current City Council Policy <br />The City Council has an ordinance in effect, currently, that requires the City to conduct <br />General Municipal Elections in November of even -numbered years. <br />Previous City Council Action(s) <br />Not applicable. <br />City Council Committee Review and Action <br />Not applicable. <br />Applicable General Plan Policy <br />Not applicable. <br />Permits and/or Variances Granted <br />Not applicable. <br />Environmental Review <br />Not applicable. <br />Code Compliance Review <br />Not applicable. <br />5 <br />145 <br />
