How much coin have initiative sponsors in California spent per signature to qualify their initiatives?

This article compares-and-contrasts signature-collection costs based on the CPRS, or Cost Per Required Signature.

When initiative sponsors collect and submit signatures, they aim to collect many more than the required minimum number of signatures. This is washed in lodge to provide a sufficient cushion for those signatures that are disqualified.

Some initiative sponsors collect a much larger cushion of actress signatures. If it were possible to know exactly how many signatures each initiative sponsor submitted, it would be possible to calculate a "price-per-actual-signature" effigy. In California, initiative sponsors must submit signatures on a per-county basis to each of the state's 58 counties, rather than to one central election function. County election officials exercise not routinely release a count of the number of filed signatures for each proposition.

The charts below, therefore, compare signature-drove costs based on a figure that is readily available, which is the legal minimum requirement of signatures, rather than the number of signatures actually gathered and submitted for each suggestion.

Note: The petition drives for Proposition 74, Proposition 75, Proffer 76 and Suggestion 77 were conducted jointly. 3 unlike petition drive management companies were involved. The expense reports were pooled. It is not therefore possible to make up one's mind the exact costs of each individual petition drive. The costs in this chart were derived past assuming that each signature in each of the four petition drives had the aforementioned price. The overall cost of the iv petition drives was $seven,876,472.40.

Footnotes

  1. ↑ The Cal-Access database lists 2 entrada committees as having registered in support of Proffer 92. One of these organizations ("Yes on 92! Students and Educators in Support") shows no expenditures of any kind. The other system, "Yes on Proposition 92, Californians for Improving Community Colleges, a Coalition of Educators and Customs Higher Organizations", shows one $38,000 expenditure to Arno Political Consultants. In our judgment, it is very unlikely that merely $38,000 was spent collecting signatures for Proffer 92. It is more likely that at that place is a flaw in the database.
  2. ↑ A search of expenditures in the Cal-Access database for Suggestion 89 campaign committees shows no disbursements to petition drive management companies.
