1. (a) Pursuant to §173.004 of the Texas Election Code, a county chair may receive compensation for administering primary elections. (Note: In calculating the county chair's compensation, ballot reprints, legal fees, programming errors, reprogramming costs or similar corrective measures will not be included in the formula for determining the county chair's compensation. Additionally, if the county chair contracts for election services with the county, the activities contracted will reduce the amount calculated in the compensation formula for the county chair.)
2. (b) The Secretary of State shall not authorize payment under this section until the county party's 2008 Final Primary Election Cost report has been received as a completed unit and approved. The Secretary of State shall notify the county chair of this approval by letter and a copy of the approved report.
3. (c) After all other expenses have been paid, the county chair shall be paid with a check drawn on the county's primary-fund account.
4. (d) The Secretary of State may deny compensation to county chairs who file delinquent final-cost reports.
