Votes for "none of the above" shall be tallied and listed in official election results, but only votes for named candidates will count for purposes of determining the election result. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local government: This measure could result in minor costs for the state and for county governments to modify their vote-counting and election-reporting procedures as a result of adding the choice of none of the above to candidate election ballots.
