Cathy Darling Allen, Shasta County’s top elections official, has set the record straight on the cost of a special election to recall three supervisors.
In a news release, Darling Allen said she “has been informed of various claims about the cost of a special, local recall election are being discussed by the public. We take this opportunity to provide the following official information. This information was developed in response to a request from the Department of Finance.”
The estimated cost for a special stand-alone election to recall one supervisor is $400,000. That cost goes up to $520,000 for two supervisors and $640,000 for three supervisors, County Clerk and Registrar of Voters Darling Allen said in her statement last Friday.
