RECOMMENDATION(S):
ADOPT Resolution No. 2023/154 to opt not list supporters and opponents of county, city, district, and school measures on county ballots for all future elections.
FISCAL IMPACT:
If the Resolution is not adopted, there is an anticipated increase in printing costs and potentially mailing costs to all Contra Costa County registered voters due to the increased complexity, length, and size of the ballots resulting from the additional text.
BACKGROUND:
Assembly Bill (AB) 1416 was passed by the State Legislature in 2022 with an effective date of January 1, 2023. AB 1416 adds a requirement that the supporters and opponents of each statewide measure be listed on the ballot label or that a similar description be provided on the ballot.
