Sonoma supes split registrar of voters from clerk-recorder-assessor into appointed role

Sonoma County is seeking to join the growing ranks of counties in the state to split the positions of registrar of voters and clerk-recorder-assessor. 

The county board of supervisors gave preliminary approval to an ordinance that would separate the positions and have the board appoint the registrar of voters. The clerk-recorder-assessor would remain an elected position.
