California Governor Recall Election

2021 recall election
Tuesday, September 14, 2021 - 8:00am to 8:00pm

The California Governor Recall Election is on Tuesday, September 14. The deadline to register for the Recall Election is Monday, August 30, 2021. 

YOUR VOTE. YOUR VOICE.

What’s on the ballot?  

There will be two questions on the ballot that every eligible Californian can vote on: 

  1. Do you want to recall the governor (remove him from office)?
  2. If the governor is recalled, who do you want to replace him?

If more than 50% of voters say “no” to the first question, the governor remains in office. If more than 50% of voters say “yes” to the first question, the person who gets the most votes on the second question becomes the governor.
