CONSEQUENCE OF NEGATIVE ACTION:
Accurate printing of election ballots and related materials; including timely production and
mailing of ballots and election materials are critical components of conducting successful
elections. Failure to accurately print or distribute election materials could jeopardize our
mandated function to conduct elections in a fair and accurate manner. Due to potential error
or omission, the department could be forced to conduct an election again at a substantial
cost to the County.
