What has the City spent on Elections?
$64.6M across 3,043 payments, July 5, 2017 to August 31, 2026 — 941 purchase orders and 132 vendors, run by City Clerk.
As published: ELECTIONS
This budget line has run for 10 fiscal years across 941 separate purchase orders. A single payment in the register shows none of that — the commitment outlives any one order, and the orders are how it gets renewed.
