ONLINE—After the Vote: Recall Elections in California

On the one month anniversay of the California Gubernatorial Recall Election, join California Humanities on Zoom for a free panel discussion as part of our ongoing electoral engagement discussion series, California on the Ballot. We’ll ask election experts and civic historians where we stand one month after the Newsom recall election. What is the history of the recall process, and what might its future be? Why do some oppose the recall method? How do other states and countries “recall” their elected leaders? In conversation with seasoned political strategist Dan Schnur, experts will unpack California’s use of recall elections, with an eye to the uncertain future of this electoral tool.

October 14, 2022 4:00-5:00pm PST

Panelists:

Carla Marinucci, Senior writer for POLITICO’s California Playbook

Seema Mehta, Political writer for The Los Angeles Times

Moderator: Dan Schnur, Political Strategist and Professor, USC Annenberg School of Communications and UC Berkeley Institute of Governmental Studies  The panel will be in conversation from 4:00-4:50 p.m. PT, followed by ten minutes of Q&A. Through California On The Ballot, California Humanities invites the people of California and beyond to reflect and talk—with neighbors, historians, election experts, and more—about the past, present, and future of electoral engagement in California.
