County
SUBJECT: CCTV' s Coverage of Election Night Activities
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S)OR RECOMMENDATION(S)&BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
Recommendation:
1. Direct Contra Costa Television (CCTV) to film and broadcast live activities
at the Election Department on election night and to have a display board
indicating county election results.
2. Broadcasting could begin around 8:00 PM with Election Department
personnel explaining the vote counting process, the absentee voting
process and any other items of interest for public education purposes.
3. The display board would allow county residents to follow their local races,
state office races and local and state propositions with coverage running
until around 11:30 PM when races begin to be decided.
Background:
On election nights, Contra Costa citizens have access to major network
television reporting of state and federal elections with only a "once in awhile"
mention of local races by San Francisco/Oakland based news broadcasters.
Therefore, community access to county election returns and the vote counting
process seems a logical and natural activity for Contra Costa Television to
provide.
