1455万美元选举经费获批准：约2500名选举工作人员上岗
加利福尼亚州河滨县县政委员会10月27日以5票对0票通过决议，批准选务处长办公室1455万美元的最终预算，用于举办11月3日全县大选，服务全县约143万名登记选民。
按县府议程文件，这笔经费约84%来自县普通基金，其余来自州政府依今年6月通过的立法发放的补助，专项用于增聘临时选举工作人员。全县本次大选共动员约2500名选举工作人员，其中约160名为临时增聘人员，岗位分布在选票处理中心与各投票中心。
县选务处长 Art Tinoco 负责本次选举的组织实施。河滨县今年6月初选的投票率约为38%。本次大选，该县已向全体登记选民寄出邮寄选票，152个投票中心自10月31日起全部开放，选举日当天投票时间为上午7时至晚8时。
选举经费覆盖选票印制与邮寄、投票设备运输与测试、工作人员培训与薪酬、选票处理中心运营及选后计票与审计等环节。县选务处将在选后法定期限内完成结果认证，认证前还须完成法定比例的人工抽查复核。
Board Approves $14.55 Million Election Budget: About 2,500 Election Workers on Duty
The Riverside County Board of Supervisors in California voted 5-0 on October 27 to approve a final budget of $14.55 million for the Registrar of Voters to run the November 3 general election, serving the county's roughly 1.43 million registered voters.
According to the county's board agenda materials, about 84 percent of the budget comes from the county's General Fund, with the remainder from a state distribution under legislation passed in June earmarked for hiring temporary election workers. About 2,500 election workers are deployed countywide for this election, including roughly 160 temporary hires, staffing the ballot processing center and vote centers.
Registrar of Voters Art Tinoco is responsible for conducting the election. Turnout in Riverside County's June primary was about 38 percent. For this general election, mail ballots were sent to all registered voters, all 152 vote centers have been open since October 31, and polls on Election Day are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m.
The election budget covers ballot printing and mailing, transport and testing of voting equipment, worker training and pay, operation of the ballot processing center, and post-election counting and auditing. The Registrar must certify the results within the statutory period after completing the legally required manual tally audit.
