§ 12107 Polling Place Publication Contracts

This law tells the elections official how to set up contracts to publish the list of polling places for each precinct and how to decide the price for that publishing.

Key Takeaways

  • •The elections official must allow contracts for publishing polling‑place lists.
  • •The price for publishing is set using a common measurement and can vary with newspaper circulation.
  • •This rule does not apply when elections are run using vote centers.

Example

A county wants the list of polling places printed in the local newspaper so voters know where to go on election day.

The elections official will let the newspaper sign a contract to print the list and will set a price for the ad based on a standard measurement that all newspapers use, possibly changing the price if the newspaper has a larger or smaller circulation.
