Finding F-2
The 2025-2026 Grand Jury found that, where still relevant, the Recommendations of the 2016-2017 Grand Jury had, for the most part, been implemented. The Grand Jury found the current Registrar of Voters to be experienced, competent, thorough, and more than capable of carrying out the job requirements. Clear and comprehensive procedures have been written for every aspect of the election process. Staff are trained in these procedures, and staff development and education is on-going. Regular staff meetings are held, with the number of such meetings increasing at critical times during the election period. All written material is currently proof-read by the Registrar and her Deputy and then further scrutinized by one or two additional staff members who provide fresh eyes and a final review. The elections page on the Mono County website has been updated and is kept current. However, despite the fact that the 2016-2017 Grand Jury Report found that the “Mono County’s Registrar of Voters Office needs to conduct additional voter education and outreach to eliminate confusion during elections”, the Election Procedures Committee received testimony that, at this time, zero staff hours are allocated to voter education and outreach.
