CA AB2582

Recall elections for local officers shall include only a question on whether the officer should be removed from office, eliminating the concurrent election for a successor.

If a local officer is removed by recall, the office becomes vacant and shall be filled according to law rather than through a special election.

Recall petitions for local officers are no longer required to request election or appointment of a successor.

Recall elections for state officers continue to include nomination and election of successor candidates.

For school district board member recalls, the county elections official must estimate and disclose the cost of conducting the special recall election on the petition.
