Elections staff estimate it will cost the city $4.8 million more than budgeted in 2025 .
The city will need to hire 1,230 more temporary election workers for advance and regular voting days, plus another 87 temporary or short-term employees for other work related to the election.
Hiring more people to count votes by hand and make the permanent electors list are the most expensive.
