THE 30-SECOND BRIEF
The Board will adopt a resolution calling a special election to fill an anticipated vacancy for the Fifth Supervisorial District, consolidating it with the November 3, 2026 Statewide General Election and requesting services from the County’s Chief Elections Officer. Running a consolidated special election will require additional election administration, printing, ballot management, voter outreach, and possibly temporary staffing or technology support. Election services and communication vendors can monitor this item and coordinate with the elections office as plans and budgets for the special election are set.
Resolution both calls the special election and requests services of the County’s Chief Elections Officer, indicating operational planning and contracting will follow.

What is a pre-RFP?
A pre-RFP is an early indicator that a government agency is planning a purchase — a project discussed in a board meeting, a budget line item, a new hire, or a grant award — captured before a formal RFP or bid is published. Acting on pre-RFPs gives SLED and B2G vendors months of lead time to build relationships and shape requirements.
