Prince George’s County special election cost estimated at $1.3 million, and counting

A special election to fill a vacant at-large Prince George’s County Council seat could cost an estimated $1.3 million, the county Board of Elections was told Monday. Election Administrator Wendy Honesty-Bey said that is just the cost of running the election – it does not include expenses such as printing ballots and training about 400 election judges who will be needed. She said after the meeting that those costs will be split with the state.
