Jun-03 Special Bond Issue Standard
This increases the bond package being sent to the voters in June.  The Secretary of State's budget includes sufficient funds to accommodate one ballot of average length for the general election in November. If the number or size of the referendum questions increases the ballot length, an additional appropriation of $8,000 or more may be required.  A special election in June of 2003 would require an additional appropriation of $121,392 in fiscal year 2003-04. No appropriation is provided for this purpose at this time.
