At the September 14, 2021, California Gubernatorial Recall Election there is a two-part question regarding the recall of the governor. The recall question contains two parts. You may vote on both parts or on just one. Either way, your vote will be counted. The first part will ask, "Shall GAVIN NEWSOM be recalled (removed) from the office of Governor?" The second part will list the names of candidates running to replace the governor if he is recalled. If you choose to vote for a replacement candidate, you may vote for only one of the many candidates. If more voters mark "YES" than "NO" on the first part of the recall question, the governor will be removed from office. If more voters mark "NO" than "YES", the governor will remain in office. If the governor is recalled, the candidate who receives the most votes will be elected as the new governor. That person can be sworn in as the governor once the results of the election are certified. This guide includes the "Proponents' Statement of Reasons" submitted by the proponents of the recall, the "Governor's Answer to the Statement", and the governor's candidate statement. Candidate Statements for the Candidates to succeed GAVIN NEWSOM as Governor if he is recalled are published in the State Voter Information Guide mailed by the Secretary of State.
