Why Does This California Voter Guide Cost $12 Million?
Season 2024
Episode 23
Each page of the most recent primary voter guide cost about $118,000, according to the California Secretary of State's office. That adds up to a total of about $12 million for the entire guide — the majority of which was devoted to a single ballot proposition (Prop 1). Sameea Kamal reports for CalMatters.
