FROM: Phil Batchelor, County Administrator
Costa
DATE: April 29, 1985 County
SUBJECT: Legislation: AB 667 (Johnson)
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATION(S) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
Adopt a position of opposition to AB 667 by Assemblyman Johnson
which would move the Primary election date from June to
September.
BACKGROUND:
AB 667 , among other things, changes the date of the Primary
election from June to September. The Assistant County
Registrar, Lon Underwood, has indicated that he needs a minimum
of three months between the Primary and the General Election in
order to provide all of the mandated services to the voters
that are required by the California Elections Code.
Having a Primary election in September, with the General
Election scarcely eight weeks later, will not provide the
Elections staff with sufficient time to carry out all of these
mandates and prepare adequately for the General Election.
Because of the administrative problems this bill would cause,
Mr. Underwood has recommended that the Board oppose AB 667 and
this office concurs with Mr. Underwood' s recommendation.
