New Reimbursement for Cities, Counties & Special Districts: “Vote by Mail Ballots: Prepaid Postage”
On Friday, July 24 hearing of the Commission on State Mandates, the Commission unanimously approved (6-0) the test claims, “Vote by Mail Ballots: Prepaid Postage” Locals will be able to be reimbursed for return postage cost on a local election/measure.
As a result, beginning on January 1, 2019, cities and counties that run their own elections (and cities and special districts that are billed by counties) are eligible for reimbursement for costs of prepaid postage for local elections.
Reimbursement claims for FY 2018-19 and FY 2019-20 are scheduled to due in late-June 2021.
