Proposition 5: Recall of State Officers
What does this measure do?
Recall ballots would ask only whether to remove a state official, with no list of replacement candidates. The seat would be filled by the usual special election or appointment instead, and taxpayers could see savings or costs of millions of dollars per recall.

Proposed by: California Legislature (Senate Constitutional Amendment 1 of 2024, Sen. Josh Newman)
Newman is a former Democratic state senator. He wants to stop a recall from handing an office to a replacement with far less support than the person removed.

A YES vote means
Recall ballots would remove the replacement-candidate question. A separate process would fill the vacancy.
A NO vote means
Recall ballots would still ask voters whether to remove an official and who should replace that person.
