  The general assembly is authorized to appropriate money from the department of state cash fund to the department of state to cover the costs of the local county clerk and recorders relating to the conduct of presidential primary elections, general elections, and November odd-year elections. If the amount of money in the department of state cash fund is insufficient to cover such costs, the general assembly may appropriate additional general fund money to cover such costs after exhausting all money in the department of state cash fund. The intent of the general assembly is to authorize the appropriation of department of state cash fund money and general fund money to the department of state to offset some of the costs of local county clerk and recorders associated with the additional election duties and requirements resulting from the preparation and conduct of presidential primary elections and from the passage of section 20 of article X of the state constitution and from the increased number of initiatives that are being filed.    For a presidential primary election, as defined in section 1-4-1202 (2), the general assembly shall appropriate money from the general fund to cover the costs of the election incurred by the state arising from the preparation and conduct of a presidential primary election in accordance with part 12 of article 4 of title 1. In addition, by means of an appropriation from the general fund, the state shall also reimburse the counties for all of the actual direct costs they incur arising from the preparation and conduct of such election in accordance with part 12 of article 4 of title 1. By rule promulgated in accordance with article 4 of this title 24, the secretary of state shall determine the type of actual direct costs for which the counties are entitled to reimbursement pursuant to section 1-4-1203 (5) and this subsection (2).

The local elections assistance cash fund, referred to in this section as the "fund", is hereby created in the state treasury.

For the 2019-20 fiscal year, the secretary of state may expend three hundred fifty thousand dollars from the federal elections assistance fund created in section 1-1.5-106 (1)(a) for the purpose of providing grants to counties to reimburse the counties in accordance with subsection (1) of this section for the costs associated with establishing new drop boxes and for other equipment consistent with federal law and grant requirements.

The secretary shall be responsible for all acts of such deputy.   Source: G.L. § 1102. G.S. § 1335. R.S. 08: § 6159. C.L. § 60. CSA: C. 156, § 17. CRS 53: § 132-2-5 . C.R.S. 1963: § 132-2-5 .   Cross references: For compensation of the deputy secretary of state, see § 24-9-102.   ANNOTATION   Deputy is authorized to pass upon validity of objections to nominating petitions. Although petitions for nominating independent candidates for offices to be voted on by the entire state are properly filed with the secretary of state, the secretary is not vested solely with the decision-making power in passing upon the validity of objections to such petitions, because the secretary has the power to appoint a deputy to act for the secretary if the secretary deems it necessary, and the deputy shall have full authority to act in all things relating to the office. Olshaw v. Buchanan, 186Colo. 362, 527 P.2d 545 (1974).   But both secretary and deputy cannot have full authority in given case. Under this section, either the deputy has full authority in a given case or the secretary has, but not both. This is to prevent the possibility of simultaneous but conflicting opinions by the secretary and the deputy on the same questions. Olshaw v. Buchanan, 186Colo. 362, 527 P.2d 545 (1974).
