The California Constitution reserves to the electors the power to recall an elective officer and requires the Legislature to provide for recall of local officers. Existing law requires a recall election to include the question of whether the officer sought to be recalled shall be removed from office and an election for the officer's successor in the event the officer is removed from office. This bill would instead require a recall election for a local officer to include only the question of whether the officer sought to be recalled shall be removed from office. If a local officer is removed from office in a recall election, the bill would provide that the office is vacant until it is filled according to law. The bill would make related conforming and clarifying changes. This bill would incorporate additional changes to Section 11041 of the Elections Code proposed by AB 2584 to be operative only if this bill and AB 2584 are enacted and this bill is enacted last.
