What Will the Recall Ballot Look Like?
The recall ballot will have two parts.
In the first part, voters would have the option to vote “yes” or “no” to the question of whether to remove the Governor from office.
In the second part, the voter would have an opportunity to select a replacement candidate. If more than 50% of voters vote to recall the Governor, then the replacement candidate with the most votes would be elected.
