The California Secretary of State confirmed it has verified enough signatures to initiate the recall of Governor Gavin Newsom
There were approximately 2,162,774 signatures for a recall election sent to the SOS. As of April 19, 1,626,042, or 80% of signatures, have been deemed valid.
The recall effort needed 1,495,709 verified signatures to trigger a recall election. That number makes up 12% of the 12,464,235 votes cast in the last election for Governor, according to the Secretary of State's website.
According to the SOS reports, Riverside County has 146,610 verified signatures out of the 186,806 total signatures the department received.
County election officials must still continue to verify the validity of any remaining signatures and must report the final signature verification on April 29, 2021.
Before the recall election gets underway, there will be a 30-business day period for voters who want to have their names removed from recall petitions. County elections officials must report the total number of withdrawn signatures to the Secretary of State by June 22, 2021.
The Secretary of State will then determine if the petition still has the required number of valid signatures to initiate a recall election.
