"The long-time election official, who has also served as the county's main internet technology executive for nearly 15 years, told us that he gave notice of his plans "one or two weeks ago" to the Board of Supervisors and county administrator. He said stepping down in March will give the county seven months' notice to find and hire a new leader - or leaders - for the two positions."
""I'll get through the redistricting election," in November 2025, he said, "the certification of that election, and by March 2026, we will have gotten through defining the June primary where any candidates will be known and the ballot design for that primary will have been onboarded." The registrar expects a "nice handoff" and doesn't anticipate any problems with the June 2026 primary elections."
Tim Dupuis will retire in March 2026 after a long local government career, having served as Alameda County registrar of voters and as the county's principal internet technology executive for nearly 15 years. He gave one or two weeks' notice to the Board of Supervisors and the county administrator, providing about seven months for the county to recruit replacements. He plans to remain through the November 2025 redistricting election, its certification, and the March 2026 milestones needed to define and onboard the June 2026 primary ballot. He expects a smooth handoff, notes a solid 230-person IT team that recently received an award, and board leadership has ordered a comprehensive evaluation and indicated plans to separate the roles.
