Overview

• Recall organizers submitted 123,387 signatures to initiate a recall election against Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price, exceeding the required threshold if validated.
• The recall effort, led by Save Alameda For Everyone, criticizes Price's handling of crime and seeks to address community safety concerns.
• Price's campaign argues the recall undermines democracy and the progress made in criminal justice reform, attributing the effort to wealthy backers.
• The validation process for the signatures is complicated by concurrent electoral events, with potential recall election dates ranging from early May to late fall 2024.
• Price, the first Black woman to serve as Alameda County's top prosecutor, faces opposition for her progressive policies on crime and police misconduct.
