Findings 3 findings

F1
The Marin County Elections Department is well managed with a small staff and encourages public input through the Election Advisory Committee.
F2
Although 100% VBM in Marin County for general elections would save the County money, California’s current election laws prohibit 100% VBM for general elections.
F3
Statewide 100% VBM elections, such as those in Oregon and Washington, are unlikely in the near to intermediate future in California because VBM usage in California is substantially lower than in Oregon and Washington.
