Furthermore, the following table from the San Bernardino County – Registrar of Voters details the deadlines for the 2024 General Election upon approvals by the City Council.
FISCAL IMPACT
All cities within the County share the costs of the General Election. The costs will increase for each measure that the City places on the ballot, however, these increased costs are substantially less than conducting a special election. Currently, there are no fiscal impacts of ballot costs.
