Kalifornien till guvernörsval – Newsom hårt pressad

The 2021 California gubernatorial recall election is a special election on whether or not to recall Governor Gavin Newsom from office and, if he is removed, to select a candidate to replace him for the remainder of the term, which ends in January 2023. The election follows the same pandemic-era format used in the November 2020 general election: in August, county election offices sent an official ballot to the mailing address of every registered voter for the option to vote by mail on or before the September 14, 2021 election day, when polling places will be open statewide for the option to vote in-person.Voters' ability to recall an elected official in California is the result of Progressive Era reforms enacted in 1911 alongside the introduction of the ballot initiative and women's suffrage. The 2003 California gubernatorial recall election was the first time a gubernatorial recall attempt led to an election in California and resulted in the successful recall of Governor Gray Davis, who was replaced by Arnold Schwarzenegger.
