NOTE: This breakdown includes all the costs directly attributable to the January 19, 2010 Special Board of
Supervisors election. It does not include the regularly scheduled hours for the full-time elections staff
members, with the exception of voting equipment programming, testing and delivery which were tracked. The
elections staff members spent the majority of their time for several weeks prior to Election Day on preparations
for the election. Therefore the actual costs for the election were higher than what is shown here.
