Contains other provisions. FISCAL NOTE (State Board of Elections) Based on the cost to the Secretary of State for the printing and distribution of the 1998 General Election Constitutional Amendment blue pamphlet ($1,500,000 for 12 page pamphlet), it is estimated that the Board would require $2-$3 million per election to prepare, edit, index and distribute a State Voter's Pamphlet to all post office mailing addresses in Illinois. The requirements to produce a county voters' pamphlet would have minimal fiscal impact on the operations of the Board.
