California AB94 modifies recall election rules for local and state officers.

California AB94 amends the Elections Code to change recall election rules. For local officers, if a majority votes "Yes" on a recall proposal, the officer is removed and the office remains vacant until filled by law, with the recalled officer ineligible for appointment. For state officers, if recalled, the candidate with the highest votes is elected to serve the unexpired term. This law clarifies and updates the procedures for handling recall elections in California.
