Referral History:

The County's Clerk-Recorder and Registrar of Voters, Kristin Connelly, has reviewed the County's adopted 2023-24 State and Federal Legislative Platforms. The Platforms currently contain only one relevant policy: SUPPORT full state reimbursement for state mandates imposed upon local registrars by the Secretary of State, including special state elections.

At their April 10, 2023 meeting, the Legislation Committee received an overview from Ms. Connelly of the policy areas she recommended for inclusion in the Platforms related to funding, physical security, and cybersecurity. The Committee requested that she return with detailed proposals for the May 8 Committee meeting.
