Costs for federal, state, and county elections are borne by the county, while the other jurisdictions (cities, schools, and special districts) reimburse the county for the cost of conducting their elections.

In addition to the conduct of elections, the department also maintains the voter registration file, conflict of interest and campaign statement filings, files and verifies petitions, (initiative, referendum, recall, formation, and annexation petitions), maintains precinct maps, issues certificates of registration and provides information on election related matters.
