Bill > AB2582

This bill amends sections of the California Elections Code related to recall elections for local offices. The key provisions are: 1. For recalls of local officers, the ballot will only include the question of whether the officer should be removed from office, and not a question about electing a successor. If the officer is recalled, the office will be vacant until it is filled according to law. 2. The nomination process for candidates to succeed a recalled state officer is modified, including deadlines for filing nomination papers and declarations of candidacy. 3. If a majority vote "yes" on recalling a state officer, the officer is removed, and the candidate receiving the most votes is elected to the unexpired term. 4. The bill also includes technical and conforming changes to ensure consistency across the Elections Code provisions on recall elections.
