California Recall Election

The California Recall Election is a process that allows voters to remove an elected official—such as the governor—before their term ends if enough people support it. If a majority votes "yes" on removing the official, they are replaced by a new candidate chosen by voters. The process involves two questions on the ballot: one asking if the official should stay, and another listing replacement candidates if removal is approved. It’s a way for residents to directly influence leadership outside regular election cycles, responding to public dissatisfaction with current officials.
