Overview

• Elections officials report fewer than 10,000 in-person early ballots cast ahead of the single-item election.
• The recall reached the ballot after more than 43,000 signatures following steep 2023 assessment increases, a record 55,000 appeals, and a state-ordered cap White initially contested.
• The ballot is straightforward: a yes vote removes White from office, and a no vote keeps him as county executive.
• White points to stadium politics and outside interests as motives, while organizers emphasize his handling of reassessment as the chief cause.
• If voters recall White, the chair of the county legislature would select an immediate successor.
