Ooh! A recall election. Let the carnival begin...
The basics courtesy of the Sacramento Bee:
"In order to run for governor, a candidate must be a U.S. citizen, a registered voter, and can’t have any felonies involving the misuse of public money on their record.
The California Constitution mentions that a gubernatorial candidate must be a resident of the state for at least five years, but according to 2018 guidance from the Secretary of State, the office considers that requirement to be unconstitutional and unenforceable.
The filing fee for a gubernatorial candidate is about $4,000, or if they don’t want to pay that, 7,000 signatures."
The last time there were 135 candidates and it was a great show.
But remember: First there must be 50% + 1 votes to recall the present governor for the "winner" to actually win or else it is just a beauty contest.
