7 CAR § 71-107 – Calculation of additional costs of school election

(a)
1. (1) An additional cost of the election, within the meaning of 7 CAR § 71-105, is calculated as follows.
2. (2) The county board of election commissioners shall calculate the difference of the actual funds expended or liabilities incurred on any election expense with the amount that would have been required had the annual school election not been held in conjunction with the preferential primary or general election.
(b) Once the county board of election commissioners calculates this difference for each election expense for which there is a difference, the county board of election commissioners shall add the additional cost for each election expenditure together to calculate the total additional cost of the annual school election.
(c)
1. (1) However, notwithstanding any other provision of this part, a county board of election commissioners and a school district may agree that the additional costs of the school election will exceed the reimbursable additional costs.
2. (2) If such an agreement is reached, the school district may reimburse the county the total reimbursable additional cost as calculated under 7 CAR § 71-109 without calculating the additional costs.
3. (3) Note. A county must still calculate the additional cost of a school election under this part in order to receive reimbursement from the State Board of Election Commissioners in a state-funded election.
