description: "(1) The California Constitution enables electors to initiate a recall of state officers by gathering sufficient signatures within a 160-day period. Upon certification by the Secretary of State that this requirement has been met, the California Constitution authorizes the Governor to call a recall election within 60 to 80 days or to consolidate it with a regularly scheduled election that is within 180 days of the certification of the signatures. The California Constitution authorizes the Legislature to provide for recall elections, and existing statutes establish a procedural framework for certifying recall petitions and holding recall elections. Existing law requires the Secretary of State, within 10 days of receiving from one or more county elections officials a petition certified to have been signed by the stated number of registered voters, to transmit to each county elections official a certificate showing that fact, and showing the total number of signatures collected by the proponents."

# California SB 96 (20172018) — State Government.
|
||
|

(1) The California Constitution enables electors to initiate a recall of state officers by gathering sufficient signatures within a 160-day period. Upon certification by the Secretary of State that this requirement has been met, the California Constitution authorizes the Governor to call a recall election within 60 to 80 days or to consolidate it with a regularly scheduled election that is within 180 days of the certification of the signatures. The California Constitution authorizes the Legislature to provide for recall elections, and existing statutes establish a procedural framework for certifying recall petitions and holding recall elections. Existing law requires the Secretary of State, within 10 days of receiving from one or more county elections officials a petition certified to have been signed by the stated number of registered voters, to transmit to each county elections official a certificate showing that fact, and showing the total number of signatures collected by the proponents.
