San Joaquin County’s allocation from the state is about $4.2 million, Stanislaus County is around $1.6 million, and Placer County is about $3.1 million.
SACRAMENTO COUNTY, Calif. — California is expected to dole out $251 million to counties across the state for a special election on redistricting, with Sacramento County expected to get nearly $11 million for its costs.
The payments are expected for a statewide special election scheduled for November 4, which will ask voters to either approve or reject proposed redrawn congressional maps. Those maps are designed to help Democrats gain as many as five U.S. House seats. The effort comes in response to Texas Republicans advancing their own redistricting plan to bolster their House majority by a similar margin.
If voters approve the measure, known as Proposition 50, the new congressional maps would take effect in time for the 2026 midterm elections.
But an election of this type comes at a fiscal cost, specifically $282 million. It’s the combined figure of what the Department of Finance is calling on the State Controller’s Office to give counties — the $251 million — and the administrative costs from the Secretary of State’s office.
The Secretary of State’s office said it has been allocated $31 million to support the costs of the special election, but not limited to, the printing and mailing of the voter information guide, voter outreach, staffing, and logistics.
Those costs around the Greater Sacramento area are as follows:
- Sacramento: $10,843,148
- San Joaquin: $4,247,235
- Stanislaus: $1,592,116
- Placer: $3,100,000
- Plumas: $58,667
- Sierra: $24,000
- Solano: $2,617,826
- Sutter: $397,900
- Tuolumne: $228,420
- Yolo: $1,264,731
- Yuba: $350,346
- Nevada: $645,200
- El Dorado: $836,800
- Colusa: $227,358
- Calaveras: $348,832
- Butte: $843,000
- Amador: $159,610
