Recall elections: notice of intention.
- Requires redaction of recall proponents' signatures and street addresses from publicly available recall notices.
- Mandates posting recall notices on three websites when newspaper publication is not possible.
- Establishes minimum requirements for the number of proponents needed to initiate a recall based on jurisdiction size.
Senator Ochoa Bogh's recall election reform measure modifies how personal information appears in recall notices, requiring elections officials to redact proponents' signatures and street addresses before making these documents public.
The legislation maintains existing requirements for recall notices, including the proponent's printed name, city, and ZIP code, while establishing new privacy protections. When no newspaper of general circulation exists in the jurisdiction, the notice must now appear on three internet websites, including the jurisdiction's official site, in addition to three physical posting locations. The Secretary of State must develop regulations governing these online postings.
These changes apply to recall attempts against both state and local elected officials, with the number of required proponents varying based on the jurisdiction's size. For areas with 100,000 or more registered voters, notices require 50 proponents or five times the nomination signature threshold, whichever is higher. Jurisdictions with 1,000 to 100,000 voters require 30 proponents or triple the nomination signatures, while those under 1,000 voters maintain a 30-proponent minimum.
