Elections: certification of results.

Abstract

Existing law requires the canvass of an election to commence no later than the Thursday following the election and shall be continued daily, Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays excepted, for not less than 6 hours each day until completed. Existing law requires the elections official to prepare a certified statement of the results of the election and submit that certified statement to the governing body within 30 days of the election, except as specified. This bill would instead require the elections official to submit the certified statement of the results of the election on the 30th calendar day following the election. By increasing the duties of local elections officials relative to the days on which they would be required to certify election results, the bill would impose a state-mandated local program. The California Constitution requires the state to reimburse local agencies and school districts for certain costs mandated by the state. Statutory provisions establish procedures for making that reimbursement. This bill would provide that, if the Commission on State Mandates determines that the bill contains costs mandated by the state, reimbursement for those costs shall be made pursuant to the statutory provisions noted above.
