RE: SUPPORT OF HOUSE BILL 5429 ELIMINATING MANDATORY PUBLISHING
OF ELECTION CANVASSING RESULTS
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairperson, Ladies and Gentlemen:
WHEREAS, existing law mandates that county clerks arrange to have election
canvassing results published in a newspaper published or printed in a given county; and
WHEREAS, with multi-media coverage of elections now and with the certainty
that there would be ample coverage if election results were changed in the vote canvass,
this law is no longer needed; and
WHEREAS, Clerk/Register Lynn Allen estimates that taxpayers would save
about $1,000 in regular elections and $500 in special elections if House Bill 5429
were enacted.
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED that the Oakland County Board of
Commissioners takes a position supporting House Bill 5429.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be sent to
all Oakland County legislators and to the Legislative Agent.
