21-2-264. In all cases of the division, redivision,
alteration, formation, or consolidation of precincts, the costs of
the proceedings shall be paid by the county or municipal governing
authority, as appropriate. There may be appropriated to the
Secretary of State funds to be granted to counties or
municipalities for purposes of meeting the requirements of Code
Section 21-2-261.1. Upon the filing of a written request by the
election officials of any qualified county or municipality, a
qualified county or municipality shall be reimbursed for all
reasonable expenses incurred by such county or municipality which
are directly related to the redrawing of voting precinct
boundaries, verification of voting precinct residency, notification
of voter precinct and polling place changes, and compilation and
preparation of the electors list as necessitated by Code Section
21-2-261.1; provided, however, that such reimbursement of costs
shall not exceed 25¢ per registered voter whose name appeared
on such countýs
or municipalitýs
electors list as of January 1, 1982. Any qualified county or
municipality seeking reimbursement of such costs shall present an
itemized description of such costs to the Secretary of State. If
the Secretary of State, after a review of the report of such costs
incurred by a county or municipality, shall find that all or
portions of such costs were reasonable and were directly related to
the preparation of such descriptions and lists, he or she shall
approve all of those parts of the costs deemed reasonable and shall
reimburse the counties or municipalities for such expenses. Any
state funds necessary to carry out the provisions of this Code
section shall come only from those funds appropriated to the
Secretary of State specifically for the purpose of implementing the
provisions of Code Section 21-2-261.1. If such funds are not
sufficient to bear completely the cost of fully implementing the
provisions of Code Section 21-2-261.1, payment to the counties or
municipalities seeking assistance shall be made on a pro rata basis
subject to the availability of appropriated funds.
