SANTA CRUZ COUNTY BALLOT MEASURES
NOVEMBER 2, 2004 ELECTION
Below is a list of local measures that have qualified for the November
2, 2004 Presidential General Election as of the final deadline of August 6, 2004.
Proofing continues on the Voter Information Pamphlet pages. The
documents attached are NOT FINAL.
Pursuant to the Elections Code, the county elections official shall
make a copy of arguments, analyses, rebuttals and ballot materials for measures on the
November 2004 ballot available for public examination in the county elections official's
office for a period of 10 calendar days immediately following the deadline for submission
of those materials. Original documents will be on public display at the Elections
Department, 701 Ocean St., Room 210, Santa Cruz.
Any person may obtain a copy of the materials from the county elections
official for use outside of the county elections official's office. The county elections
official may charge a fee to any person obtaining a copy of the material. The fee may not
exceed the actual cost incurred by the county elections official in providing the copy.
During the 10-calendar-day public examination period provided by this
section, any voter of the jurisdiction in which the election is being held, or the county
elections official, himself or herself, may seek a writ of mandate or an injunction
requiring any or all of the materials to be amended or deleted. The writ of mandate or
injunction request shall be filed no later than the end of the 10-calendar-day public
examination period.
A peremptory writ of mandate or an injunction shall be issued only upon
clear and convincing proof that the material in question is false, misleading, or
inconsistent with this chapter, and that issuance of the writ or injunction will not
substantially interfere with the printing or distribution of official election materials
as provided by law.
The county elections official shall be named as respondent and the
person or official who authored the material in question shall be named as real parties in
interest. In the case of the county elections official bringing the mandamus or injunctive
action, the board of supervisors of the county shall be named as the respondent and the
person or official who authored the material in question shall be named as the real party
in interest.
