Recall elections: notice of intention.

Summary

The bill changes California’s recall process by mandating that the elections official or Secretary of State redact each proponent’s signature and street address before the notice of intention is released to the public. It also requires the notice to be posted on three internet websites when a newspaper of general circulation is not available, and sets minimum numbers of proponents that must be listed based on the size of the jurisdiction. The changes aim to protect privacy while keeping recall information accessible.
