County Registrar of Voters Lee Lundrigan said Tuesday she disagreed with Jackman. Referring to Elections Code section 9280, Lundrigan said there is no legal requirement to print the text of voter initiatives in the sample ballot.
“In the event the entire text of the measure is not printed on the ballot, nor in the voter information portion of the sample ballot,” the code says, the city can print a phone number and instructions for ordering a copy of the initiative below the impartial analysis.
The impartial analysis for Measure I did not offer a phone number or instructions for obtaining a copy of the initiative. Local officials will wait to see if the state considers that a serious omission.
