§ 10520 District Election Cost Reimbursement

This law says that each voting district has to pay the county back for the money the county actually spent to run that district's part of a general election.

Key Takeaways

•Districts must reimburse the county for the real costs of running their part of a general election.
•The county elections official figures out how much each district owes.
•Districts get a bill and have to pay the exact amount the county spent.

Example

District A is part of County X and holds a general election. County X spends $7,500 on things like voting machines and staff for District A.

County X adds up the $7,500 it spent, sends a bill to District A, and District A must pay that amount back.

How to Calculate

Amount Due = Actual Costs Incurred

The county elections official adds up all the money it actually spent for the district's election (e.g., staff wages, equipment, printing).
The county decides that this total is the amount the district owes.
The county sends a bill to the district for that exact amount.
The district pays the billed amount back to the county.

County spends $4,200 on voting booths, $1,300 on staff, and $500 on printing for District B.

Result: District B must pay $6,000 back to the county.
