	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 requires production and delivery of a second ballot, an additional appropriation of $107,250 may be required.  If the timing of the recall required a special election, the Secretary of State estimates that ballot and other election costs would be approximately $200,000 for a special primary election and $250,000 for the special election.
Fiscal Detail and Notes
	Additional costs to the Department of Secretary of State associated with verifying recall petitions can be absorbed with existing staff and within existing budgeted resources.
