The City Clerk finished that review and made recommendations which the City Council adopted on September 10, 2018 (City Council Resolution No. 18-57) and the Bellflower Public Facilities Corporation incorporated into this Resolution.

To fulfill its obligations under the PRA and FPPC Regs, the Bellflower Public Facilities Corporation adopts this 2018 Bellflower Public Facilities Corporation COI as set forth in this Resolution.

Staff Report – November 5, 2024, Special and General Municipal Election June 10, 2024

Page 2 of 5 ends

FISCAL IMPACT

The estimated cost to consolidate the November 5, 2024, Special and General Municipal Election with the Countywide General Election conducted by the Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk is $91,956.48. Funds are available in Account No. 010-43600-1210 for the conduct of the Election.

BACKGROUND

City Council Member terms are staggered so that three are elected in one election year and two are elected at the next General Municipal Election. In 2023, a vacancy occurred on the City Council (District 1) following the resignation of Council Member Raymond Y.

Hamada. Council Member Wendi Morse was appointed as Council Member Hamada’s successor with a term ending December 2024 (at the declaration of the results of the November 5, 2024, Municipal Election). The Elections Code provides that Council Member Morse may only serve until the General Municipal Election in 2024 following her appointment. Consequently, there will be three Council Member seats on the ballot for the November 5, 2024, Special and General Municipal Election: District 1 (Special Election; short-term/2 years); and Districts 2 and 4 (General Election; full-term/4 years).

The City will consolidate the November 5, 2024, Special and General Municipal Election with the Countywide General Election. The number and location of vote centers are still being determined.

Nomination Period

The nomination period (first and last day for candidates to obtain and file nomination documents with the City Clerk) starts 8:00 a.m. on Monday, July 15, 2024, and closes at 5:00 p.m. on Friday, August 9, 2024. Any person seeking to file nomination documents on the last day should contact the City Clerk’s Office in advance. A nomination packet will be issued to prospective candidates during the nomination period that will provide more specific details and the necessary forms.

If nomination documents for an incumbent member of the City Council are not filed by the deadline of 5:00 p.m. on Friday, August 9, 2024, the nomination period for that office (only) will be extended to 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday, August 14, 2024, during which time any eligible person (other than the incumbent) may file nomination documents for that office.

Original signatures will be required on all nomination documents.

Candidate Statements

A “candidate statement” may include the name, age, and occupation of the candidate and a brief description of not more than 200 words of the candidate’s education and qualifications, expressed by the candidate. The submission of a candidate’s statement is optional.

Pursuant to Elections Code §§ 13307(c)(1)(2) and 13307.7, the Registrar-Recorder/ County Clerk’s Office launched an Online Candidate Statement Pilot in LA County in 2022 that allowed candidates running for County level offices to pay for a candidate statement that would be posted online but would not be printed in the hard copy sample ballot/ voter guide. The pilot then became a program that was expanded to include cities, school districts, and other local jurisdictions that were on the ballot for the March 2024 election cycle, and for a reduced fixed fee, online statements were published on a dedicated page on the www.lavote.gov website.

In preparation for the November 2024 Election cycle, the Registrar-Recorder/ County Clerk’s Office is asking all local jurisdictions that would like to exercise the new online candidate statement option to acquire the authorization to do so. The City Clerk confirmed that candidates would have the option for an online candidate statement or traditional printed statement in the sample ballot/voter guide; however, selecting both options will not be permitted. Online candidate statements must follow the same requirements as set forth for traditional printed statements. The City Council resolution establishing regulations for candidates’ statements has been updated to include authority for this new online only option and the draft resolution is included for City Council consideration. (Attachment C)

For the traditional printed candidate statement option, the Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk’s Office will continue to print the main Official Sample Ballot Booklet in English.

At the candidates’ option and for an additional cost, a translation of the candidate statement into Spanish can be printed along with the English statement in the Official Sample Ballot Booklet. Translated versions of candidate statements will be provided to voters who have requested language assistance materials in other languages required to be provided by the County.

Candidate Statement Costs

The cost of an online only candidate statement will be a fixed fee of $279.60, while the cost of a printed candidate statement will depend on the actual number of columns necessary to print the candidate statement and the number of registered voters in the Council District at the time of printing. The City Clerk is anticipating receiving the estimated costs for printed statements by June 14, 2024. A deposit will be required for printed candidate statements based on the estimates provided by the County.

For reference, a deposit of $300 for English only, or $600 for English and Spanish translation, were required of City Council candidates in 2022. Any overpayment would be refunded by the City. In the event of an underpayment, the candidate would be required to pay the balance of the cost incurred within thirty (30) days after the election.

Voting Rights Act (VRA)

The Los Angeles County Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk’s Office Election Division representatives have assured the fulfillment of the City’s language assistance requirements per the Voting Rights Act (VRA). The purpose of the VRA is to ensure the right of all citizens to vote—including the right to register to vote and cast meaningful votes—is preserved and protected by federal law. Federal law recognizes many Americans rely heavily on languages other than English and they require oral assistance and voting materials in minority languages in order to be informed voters and participate effectively in our representative democracy. The VRA requires any county with more than 10,000 residents whose native language is not English and indicated a lack of proficiency in English on their U.S. Census form, to provide election materials in the identified languages.

Los Angeles County is currently required to provide the following language assistance to multilingual voters in addition to English: Armenian, Chinese, Cambodian/Khmer, Farsi, Korean, Spanish, Tagalog/Filipino, Vietnamese, Hindi, Japanese, Thai, Russian, Bengali*, Burmese*, Gujarati*, Indonesian*, Mongolian*, and Telugu* [*Some services may not be available for certain languages]. Los Angeles County follows a “targeting” system to identify vote centers for written and oral minority language assistance at a lowered threshold of three percent (3%), pursuant to Elections Code § 14201. The elements of the County’s targeting system reflect data compiled from the Census, voter requests on file, the multilingual tally card, and input from community-based organizations. If the number of eligible voters for a specific language is higher or equal to the three percent (3%) criteria, that language qualifies for translation. Staff has confirmed that the County will provide election materials in any of the County-required languages listed above to any Los Angeles County voter who requests language assistance.

The City Clerk’s Office will continue to work closely with the County to determine which languages will require additional assistance for Bellflower’s November 5, 2024, Special and General Municipal Election to ensure multilingual voters are supported as required by the VRA.

Election Night, Semi-Official Results, and Certification

The Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk’s new Ballot Processing Center located in the City of Industry will be the Central Counting Place for the Election. All semi-final results will be released from the Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk’s headquarters located at 12400 Imperial Highway, Norwalk, CA 90650. Semi-final results will also be continuously updated and displayed on the County’s website ( www.lavote.net) throughout Election Night and during the Official Canvass.

-43-

Municipal Information Booklet Chapter 2 November 5, 2024 -16-
BALLOT DESIGNATION REGULATIONS (continued)

(1) “Profession” means a field of employment requiring special education or skill and requiring specific knowledge of a particular discipline of learning or science.

The labor and skill involved in a profession is predominantly mental or intellectual, rather than physical or manual. Recognized professions generally include, but are not limited to, law, medicine, education, engineering, accountancy, and journalism. Examples of an acceptable designation of a “profession,” as defined in Elections Code § 13107, subdivision (a)(3), include, but are not limited to, “attorney,” “physician,” “accountant,” “architect,” and “teacher.”
(2) “Vocation” means a trade, a religious calling, or the work upon which a person, in most but not all cases, relies for his or her livelihood and spends a major portion of his or her time. As defined, vocations may include, but are not limited to, religious ministry, child rearing, homemaking, elderly and dependent care, and engaging in trades such as carpentry, cabinetmaking, plumbing, and the like. Examples of an acceptable designation of a “vocation,” as defined in Elections Code § 13107, subdivision (a)(3), include, but are not limited to, “minister,” “priest,” “mother,” “father,” “homemaker,” “dependent care provider,” “carpenter,” “plumber,” “electrician,” and “cabinetmaker.” (3) “Occupation” means the employment in which one regularly engages or follows as the means of making a livelihood. Examples of an acceptable designation of an “occupation,” as defined in Elections Code § 13107, subdivision (a)(3), include, but are not limited to, “rancher,” “restaurateur,” “retail salesperson,” “manual laborer,” “construction worker,” “computer manufacturing executive,” “military pilot,” “secretary,” and “police officer.” (b) “Principal,” as that term is used in Elections Code § 13107, subdivision (a)(3), means a substantial involvement of time and effort such that the activity is one of the primary, main or leading professional, vocational or occupational endeavors of the candidate. The term "principal" precludes any activity which does not entail a significant involvement on the part of the candidate.

Involvement which is only nominal, pro forma, or titular in character does not meet the requirements of the statute.
(1) If a candidate is licensed by the State of California to engage in a profession, vocation or occupation, the candidate is entitled to consider it one of his or her “principal” professions, vocations or occupations if (i) the candidate has maintained his or her license current as of the date he or she filed his or her nomination documents by complying with all applicable requirements of the respective licensure, including the payment of all applicable license fees and (ii) the status of the candidate’s license is active at the time he or she filed his or her nomination documents.
(2) A candidate who holds a professional, vocational or occupational license issued by the State of California may not claim such profession, vocation or occupation as one of his or her “principal” professions, vocations or occupations if (i) the candidate’s licensure status is “inactive” at the time the candidate -44-

BALLOT DESIGNATION REGULATIONS (continued)

files his or her nomination document, or (ii) the candidate’s license has been suspended or revoked by the agency issuing the license at the time the candidate files his or her nomination documents.
(c) In order for a ballot designation submitted pursuant to Elections Code § 13107, subdivision (a)(3), to be deemed acceptable by the Secretary of State, it must accurately state the candidate’s principal professions, vocations or occupations, as those terms are defined in subdivisions (a) and (b) herein. Each proposed principal profession, vocation or occupation submitted by the candidate must be factually accurate, descriptive of the candidate’s principal profession, vocation or occupation, must be neither confusing nor misleading, and must be in full and complete compliance with Elections Code § 13107 and the regulations included in this Chapter.
(d) If the candidate is engaged in a profession, vocation or occupation at the time he or she files his or her nomination documents, the candidate’s proposed ballot designation is entitled to consist of the candidate’s current principal professions, vocations and occupations. In the event the candidate does not have a current principal profession, vocation or occupation at the time he or she files his or her nomination documents, the candidate may use a ballot designation consisting of his or her principal professions, vocations or occupations, which the candidate was principally engaged in during the calendar year immediately preceding the filing of the candidate’s nomination papers.
(e) A candidate may engage in multiple principal professions, vocations or occupations. Accordingly, the candidate may designate multiple principal professions, vocations or occupations. If a candidate proposes a ballot designation including multiple principal professions, vocations or occupations, the proposed ballot designation must comply with the following provisions:
(1) The proposed ballot designation must comply with the three-word limitation specified in Elections Code § 13107, subdivision (a)(3), and as implemented pursuant to subdivision (f) herein.
(2) Each such proposed profession, vocation or occupation shall be separately considered by the Secretary of State and must independently qualify as a “principal” profession, vocation or occupation, as that term is defined pursuant to subdivision (b) herein.
(3) When multiple professions, vocations or occupations are proposed as a ballot designation, they shall be separated by a slash (“/”). An example of an acceptable designation would be “Legislator/Rancher/Physician.” (f) Pursuant to Elections Code § 13107, subdivision (a)(3), the candidate’s ballot designation shall be limited to not more than three (3) words. The following rules shall govern the application of the three word limitation:
(1) The proposed ballot designation shall be grammatically correct, generic, and all words must be spelled correctly.

(2) Punctuation shall be limited to the use of a comma (e.g., District Attorney, Los Angeles County) and a slash (e.g., Legislator/Rancher/Physician), pursuant to subdivision (e) of this section. A hyphen may be used if, and only if, the use of a hyphen is called for in the spelling of a word as it appears in a standard reference dictionary of the English language.
(3) All California geographical names shall be considered to be one word and shall be limited to the names of cities, counties and states. The names of special districts and political subdivisions are not “geographical names,” as the term is used in Elections Code § 13107, subdivision (a)(3). If the candidate desires, the geographical name may be used in the form of “City of . . . ,” “County of . . . ,” or “City and County of . . .” Examples of geographical names considered to be one word include Tehama County, Los Angeles County and County of Sacramento.

(2) Pro Forma Professions, Vocations and Occupations: Pro forma professions, vocations or occupations are positions held by the candidate which consume little or none of the candidate's time and which, by their nature, are voluntary or for which the candidate is not compensated. Pro forma professions, vocations and occupations may include, but are not limited to, such pursuits as honorary peace officer, volunteer firefighter, honorary chairperson, honorary professor, goodwill ambassador, official host or hostess and the like. (3) Statuses: A status is a state, condition, social position or legal relation of the candidate to another person, persons or the community as a whole.

Examples of a status include, but are not limited to, philanthropist, activist, patriot, taxpayer, concerned citizen, husband, wife, and the like.
(c) Pursuant to Elections Code § 13107, subdivision (b)(1), the Secretary of State shall reject as unacceptable any proposed ballot designation which would mislead voters. In making this determination, the Secretary of State shall determine whether there is a substantial likelihood that a reasonably prudent voter would be misled as to the candidate’s principal profession, vocation or occupation by the candidate’s proposed ballot designation. The determination shall take into account the plain meaning of the words constituting the proposed ballot designation and the factual accuracy of the proposed ballot designation based upon supporting documents or other evidence submitted by the candidate in support of the proposed ballot designation, pursuant to §§ 20711 and 20717 of this Chapter.
(d) A ballot designation may not comprise or include commercial identification information, such as a trademark, service mark, tradename, or the specific name of a business, partnership, corporation, company, foundation, or organization.

BALLOT DESIGNATION REGULATIONS (continued)

(e) Pursuant to Elections Code § 13107, subdivision (b)(2), the Secretary of State shall reject as unacceptable any proposed ballot designation which would suggest an evaluation of the candidate’s qualifications, honesty, integrity, leadership abilities or character.

Such impermissible adjectives include, but are not limited to, “outstanding,” “leading,” “expert,” “virtuous,” “eminent,” “best,” “exalted,” “prominent,” “famous,” “respected,” “honored,” “honest,” “dishonest,” “corrupt,” “lazy,” and the like.
(f) Pursuant to Elections Code § 13107, subdivision (b)(3), the Secretary of State shall reject as unacceptable any proposed ballot designation which abbreviates the word “retired” or places it following any word or words which it modifies.

Examples of impermissible designations include “Ret. Army General,” “Major USAF, Retired” and “City Attorney, Retired.”
(g) Pursuant to Elections Code § 13107, subdivision (b)(4), the Secretary of State shall reject as unacceptable any proposed ballot designation which uses a word or prefix to indicate a prior profession, vocation, occupation or elected, appointed or judicial office previously held by the candidate. Such impermissible words or prefixes include, but are not limited to, “Ex-,” “former,” “past,” and “erstwhile.” Examples of impermissible designations include “Former Congressman,” “Ex- Senator,” and “Former Educator.”
(h) Subject to the provisions of Elections Code § 13107, subdivision (b)(4), use of the word “retired” in a ballot designation is generally limited for use by individuals who have permanently given up their chosen principal profession, vocation or occupation. In evaluating a proposed ballot designation including the word “retired,” the Secretary of State will consider the following factors in making a determination as to the propriety of the use of the term “retired”:
(1) Prior to retiring from his or her principal profession, vocation or occupation, the candidate worked in such profession, vocation or occupation for more than 5 years;
(2) The candidate is collecting, or eligible to collect, retirement benefits or other type of vested pension;
(3) The candidate has reached at least the age of 55 years; (4) The candidate voluntarily left his or her last professional, vocational or occupational position;
(5) If the candidate is requesting a ballot designation indicating that he or she is a retired public official, the candidate must have previously voluntarily retired from public office, not have been involuntarily removed from office, not have been recalled by voters, and not have surrendered the office to seek another office or failed to win reelection to the office;

STATE LAW
Statements may not include references to other candidates. See Notice to Persons Submitting Candidate Statements on page 29 for restrictions.

No changes are allowed after the statement has been filed.

Statements are confidential until after the close of the nomination period. Once the nomination period closes, the statements are open to public examination for a ten (10) calendar day period.

During this period, a voter may seek a writ of mandate or an injunction requiring any or all data/material to be amended or deleted.

A candidate may request that the statement also be printed in Spanish and included in the Official Sample Ballot Booklet mailed to all voters in the election area. An additional fee is required to print a Spanish candidate statement. In compliance with California Law, (E. C. § 13307 (b)) this office will only print English and Spanish candidate statements to be included in the Official Sample Ballot Booklet for candidates who wish to have one, at the candidate’s own expense.

Translations of candidate statements for Voter Information Booklets may be provided in Armenian, Bengali, Burmese, Cambodian/Khmer, Chinese, Farsi, Gujarati, Hindi, Indonesian, Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, Russian, Spanish, Tagalog/Filipino, Telugu, Thai and Vietnamese for qualifying jurisdictions in accordance with Federal Voting Rights Act provisions and Department of Justice specifications. These materials when printed are sent only to voters who have requested them.

No reference to political party affiliation nor mention of any partisan political membership or activity is permitted.

ESTIMATED COST — The candidate statement form (page 24) issued with the nomination documents contains word limitations and estimated costs.

If the candidate statement word limitation is 400 words and a candidate statement 200 words or less is submitted, the entire amount of the estimated cost must be deposited. The estimated cost is based on column price, not by word count.

If a candidate statement is formatted to include numerous paragraph breaks and/or individual listings of accomplishments, endorsements, etc., the printed candidate statement may extend to two (2) columns. If a candidate statement is printed in another language, the translated candidate statement may extend to two (2) or more columns. In these cases, the actual cost for the candidate statement may double or triple and an additional cost may be billed to the City after the election. Please note, costs are calculated by column regardless of how much or how little text there is on each page. Costs are NOT calculated according to word count.

The estimated cost is determined prior to all information being available; therefore, it is an approximation of the actual cost that varies from election to election and may be significantly more or less depending on the actual number of candidates filing statements. -55-

Municipal Information Booklet Chapter 3
November 5, 2024 - 27 -

INDIGENT CANDIDATES — If a candidate alleges to be indigent and unable to pay the advanced candidate statement fee, then the candidate shall submit to the City Clerk an Affidavit of Financial Worth (sample below) to be used in determining the candidate’s eligibility to defer the candidate statement fee to a later time determined by the city.

The candidate will have to disclose the necessary data requested which includes the candidate’s employer, real estate holdings, tangible personal property and the IRS Form 4506 “Request for Copy of Tax Return.”

AFFIDAVIT OF FINANCIAL WORTH — The candidate shall certify the content of the affidavit as to its truth and correctness under penalty of perjury. The affidavit shall be submitted by the candidate together with their candidate statement in accordance with the specified election deadline.

A determination shall be made whether or not the candidate is indigent. The City Clerk will notify the candidate of its findings. If it is determined that the candidate is not indigent, the candidate shall within three (3) days of notification, excluding Saturdays, Sundays and state holidays, withdraw their candidate statement or pay the requisite fee.

If the City Clerk makes the determination that the candidate is indigent, the elections official shall print and mail the candidate statement in the Official Sample Ballot Booklet. Nothing prohibits the City Clerk from billing the candidate their actual pro rata share of the cost following the election.

NOTICE TO PERSONS SUBMITTING CANDIDATE STATEMENTS

CANDIDATE STATEMENTS ARE LIMITED TO THE CANDIDATE’S OWN

QUALIFICATIONS

This applies to all candidates.

The California Elections Code and case law prohibit CANDIDATES from making any reference to another candidate or to another candidate’s qualification, character or activities. If the CITY ELECTIONS OFFICIAL discovers improper content in a candidate statement, the CITY ELECTIONS OFFICIAL will notify the candidate and give the individual an opportunity to correct the improper language in the candidate statement. If the candidate refuses to correct the improper language, the CITY ELECTIONS OFFICIAL, as well as any other voter, may bring legal action against the candidate to correct the statement. The prevailing party may also be entitled to obtain attorney's fees for bringing the action.

All prospective candidates may want to refer to California Elections Code Sections 13307, 13308, 13311, 13313, and 13314, as well as the California Court of Appeal ruling in Dean v. Superior Court, (1998 4th Dist.) 62 Cal. App. 4th 638. However, this list is not exhaustive and candidates are solely responsible for preparation and submittal of candidate's statements that are in conformance with the law.

AVAILABLE FORMS — Copies of forms for submitting ballot measure arguments and rebuttals, referenced in this chapter may be obtained by calling the Election Planning Section at (562) 462-2317 or accessing the RR/CC website at www.lavote.net .

WITHDRAWAL OF ARGUMENTS — Ballot arguments “FOR” or “AGAINST” any measure may be withdrawn by proponents at any time prior to and including the final date fixed for filing arguments.

PUBLIC EXAMINATION — A public examination period is allowed for reviewing submitted arguments and rebuttal arguments during the ten (10) calendar day period immediately following the filing deadline for such documents. Throughout this period, any person may seek a writ of mandate or an injunction to require any or all of the material to be amended or deleted. The writ of mandate or injunction request shall be filed no later than the end of the ten (10) calendar day public examination period.

ORIGINAL FORMS/SIGNATURES — Electronic or faxed copies of arguments and/or rebuttals may be sent to the Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk’s office; however, forms with original signatures must be received by the RR/CC office within 48 hours of the fax transmission.

RESTRICTIONS — If the city plans to include maps and/or graphics, the Registrar- Recorder/County Clerk’s office must be notified prior to the resolution adoption to ensure there are no space limitation problems and ascertain if the City request will require special arrangements and possibly result in additional cost.

LITIGATION —The Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk must be notified of any pending litigation involving ballot enclosures. This includes action taken by the court if amendments or deletions are required on any ballot enclosures. This could potentially cause a delay in meeting established deadlines and/or printing of Official Sample Ballot Booklets.

ORDINANCE/CHARTER AMENDMENTS — Pursuant to Elections Code Sections 9223 and 9280, the City may print a notice in the Official Sample Ballot Booklet advising voters of the availability of a free copy of the Ordinance/Charter Amendment Text.

MULTILINGUAL SERVICES

GENERAL INFORMATION — The 1992 provisions of the Voting Rights Act require that for elections conducted in Los Angeles County voting materials must be available in five languages other than English (Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, Tagalog/Filipino and Vietnamese). In 1998, the Los Angeles County Board of Supervisors instructed this office to include Korean in the translation of voting materials. Following the 2010 U.S. census, we provide translation services in Cambodian/Khmer, Hindi, and Thai as well. In 2018, the California Secretary of State instructed this office to include Armenian and Farsi. In 2020, California Elections Code added Bengali, Burmese, Gujarati, Mongolian and Telugu to the required languages for Los Angeles County.

Currently, Los Angeles County is required to provide the following language assistance to VRA Voters: Armenian, Cambodian/Khmer, Chinese, Farsi, Korean, Spanish, Tagalog/Filipino, and Vietnamese.

Additionally, this office supports Russian.

This office has met with community organizations to determine the most effective manner in which to implement multilingual provisions. A mutual agreement was reached as to what materials would be translated and how multilingual voters would be targeted for election mailings, thereby reducing printing requirements.

This office will continue working with community groups to determine multilingual service requirements for future County elections.

MULTILINGUAL SERVICES (RR/CC) — The county performs the following functions:

1. Translation of Official Sample Ballot Booklet information and related voting materials. The transliteration of candidate names in languages that do not use Roman characters is provided, as instructed by the Department of Justice. These languages include Armenian, Bengali, Burmese, Cambodian/Khmer, Chinese, Farsi, Gujarati, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, Russian, Telugu and Thai.

2. Mailing of multilingual ballot information booklets to voters requesting such material.

3. Billing to the City, and if applicable, its pro rata share of the cost of translating, printing and mailing language materials.

Note: In compliance with California Law, (E. C. § 13307 (b)) this office will only print English and Spanish candidate statements in the English language version of the Official Sample Ballot Booklet (for candidates who wish to have one) at the candidate’s own expense.

TRANSLITERATION OF CANDIDATE NAMES — Candidates may request that their names be transliterated in those languages that do not use Roman Characters as instructed by the Department of Justice. These languages include Armenian, Bengali, Burmese, Cambodian/Khmer, Chinese, Farsi, Gujarati, Hindi, Japanese, Korean, Mongolian, Russian, Telugu and Thai. If applicable, candidates must complete a Transliteration Form (Sample below) and file it with their nomination documents by the specified deadline (88 days prior to the election). Candidates may review the transliteration of names and submit changes to the Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk (RR/CC) no later than the last day of the review period, which is normally 60 days prior to the election, but subject to change. Candidates may schedule a review of transliterated names by calling the RR/CC Translation Services Unit at (562) 462-2730 or (562) 462-2676.

Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk
Data Entry and Signature Verification Section, Room 4007 12400 Imperial Highway
Norwalk, California 90650

The RR/CC will provide work space and access to computer stations as well as microfilm readers to view voter signatures.

1. MICROFILM READERS — There is no charge to Cities for their staff to use the microfilm equipment for signature verification. If RR/CC supervision is required, dedicated labor will be charged to the City based on the hourly wage of the supervisor(s).

2. ONLINE TERMINALS — There is no charge to Cities for their staff to verify signatures using our Voter Information Management System (VIMS). If RR/CC supervision is required, dedicated labor will be charged to the City based on the hourly wage of the supervisor(s).

3. RESERVATIONS — There may be a limited number of computer stations available for signature verification. Computer stations are available for Cities’ use on a “first come, first served” basis. Please contact the Data Entry and Signature Verification Section at (562) 462-2371 for information regarding availability of equipment and to make reservations.

4. COST — Effective July 1, 2010 the rate for the Registrar-Recorder/County Clerk’s staff to verify signatures:

 $2.45 per signature for signatures that are not available on VIMS (i.e. on Microfilm) which involves a more labor-intensive search and accounts for the remaining 5% of registered voters.

These fees are SUBJECT TO CHANGE without notification. You may contact the Data Entry and Signature Verification Section at (562) 462-2371 if you have any questions regarding cost.
