§ 11324 Recall Election Voter Guide

This law says the person in charge of making the ballot must mail a voter guide to every registered voter at least 10 days before a recall election, and if the recall is for a state officer, the guide must also contain a cost estimate report.

Key Takeaways

  • •The ballot official must mail a voter guide at least 10 days before a recall election.
  • •The guide must go to every registered voter in the area of the officer being recalled.
  • •If the recall is for a state officer, the guide must also include a cost estimate report from the Department of Finance.

Example

A city council member is being recalled. The election official sends a voter information guide to every registered voter in that city 10 days before the recall vote.

The guide tells voters about the recall and, because the council member is a local officer, it does not need to include a cost estimate. If the recall were for a state official, the guide would also have a report showing how much the recall would cost.
