Vote on Recall Gavin Newsom September 14
Check your voter registration
First: Check your voter registration at. Make sure that you are still registered and your address is current.
Register to vote
If you’re not registered (e.g., you just became eligible or you’re about to), or your address or other information has changed, then you need to register to vote at.
If you miss the August 30 deadline to register, you can still vote. However, you’ll need to vote in person and ask poll workers about conditional voter registration. If the Department of Elections confirms that you are eligible to vote, your vote will be counted.
What's on the ballot?
Your ballot card has two questions, one on each side:
Should Gov. Newsom be recalled (fired)?
If Gov. Newsom is recalled, who should replace him?
On the first question: A yes vote is a vote to remove Governor Newsom and replace him with somebody else. A no vote is a vote to keep Governor Newsom.
If more than half of voters vote yes on question #1, Newsom is recalled, and whoever wins more votes than any other challenger becomes the next Governor.
If fewer than 50% of voters vote no on question 1, the challenger with the most votes in question 2 becomes governor – even if that person only has a tiny percentage of the votes. And because there are so many challengers, it’s possible for one person to be the most popular challenger even with less than 5% of the vote.
