City and School Elections Complicated and Expensive
The April 1 city and school elections face high costs due to a new law changing election officers when multiple entities vote same day and a statewide registration rule. Precincts multiply, requiring more judges and clerks, and a $2 minimum wage increase raises expenses. Polling locations spread across many towns and districts, with several communities tabulating at nonstandard sites and some districts delaying or altering typical arrangements.
