Something to consider: below is the invoice from the Board of Elections for the last municipal election.
We are billed “per precinct” open. We actually got a discount here, because Cary had a runoff. If they did not, our cost in Nov 2023 would have been even higher. Also to note: now that Raleigh has moved to even year elections, our costs have significantly gone up, and as other municipalities move to even, those costs will further shift to the remaining municipalities on odd years.
If we moved to even year elections, the cost in odd years would be $0, and the cost in even years would not increase at all.
This number, around $200k, is roughly equal to our annual sidewalk allocation.
