Prop 5
Prop 5
What is it?
Changes how states replace state-level elected officials.
CURRENT: Vote for removal + who replaces an individual.
WITH PROP: Vote only for removal; a separate election depending on the circumstance will follow.
Argument For
Actual tool to evaluate an individual’s ability in office—not just a loophole to elect a lesser-voted for official.
Recall the process's original purpose.
Argument Against
“Degrades” the recall process that already exists because it takes away voter rights to immediately re-elect.
Supporters
State Senator Josh Newman
Secretary of State Shirley Weber
California Democratic Party
League of Women Voters
Opposers
California Republican Party
Reform California
