Hi Kristen,
Good afternoon.
Below is the estimated cost to place a Measure for the City of Cupertino’s November 2026 Election. Measure will be charged as an additional item in the ballot.
If the measure is placed on the ballot alone without the council seat, it will incur the cost listed as the first item in the estimate below.
Please note that this estimate is based on projected registration and available information.
They are subject to change upon final billing of actual charges incurred after the election.
Additionally, this estimate is for planning purposes only and does not serve as legal advice.
Thank you and have a great weekend.
