Description
RECALL SIGNATURE REQUIREMENTS. INITIATIVE CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT. Increases number of elector signatures required to cause a recall election for a statewide elected officer from 12 percent to 25 percent of the number of votes cast in the last election for the office subject to the recall. Increases number of elector signatures required to cause recall election for a member of the State Senate, Assembly, Board of Equalization, and judges of the trial courts and courts of appeal from 20 percent to 25 percent of the number of votes cast in the last election for the office subject to the recall. Summary of estimate by Legislative Analyst and Director of Finance of fiscal impact on state and local governments: Future savings for state and local governments from reduced number of recall special elections. These instances of savings would likely be rare, but could total more than $50 million for each special statewide recall election, with much less savings for non-statewide elections.
