| Changing the minimum requirement for a political party to be recognized could result in a greater number of recognized political parties, thereby increasing administrative costs pertaining to general elections which are incurred by the Department of the Secretary of State. The amounts of any increased administrative costs would depend on the number of additional recognized political parties and can not be determined at this time. | |||||||||
