*Percentage based on number of precincts for the 2018 General Election.

A one-time expenditure of $134 million was approved in California’s 2018-2019 budget to replace voting systems for all of the state’s 58 counties. The funding is provided as a one-time General Fund expenditure to purchase new hardware, software, and initial licensing to replace existing systems and technology. It requires that the county match funds for eligible expenditures on a dollar-for-dollar basis, up to the allocated amount on a reimbursement basis. Assembly Bill 1824, Chapter 38 (Stats. 2018), adds sections 19400 and 19402 to the Elections Code and specifies details around the funding. The county allocation approved by the Legislature of the $134 million is:
