Overview

  • The recall campaign targeting Supervisor Joel Engardio has submitted 14,000 signatures, surpassing the 9,911 required for a recall election in District 4.
  • The San Francisco Elections Department will verify the signatures using a 5% random sample to determine if the petition qualifies for an election.
  • If validated, a recall vote must be scheduled between 105 and 120 days from certification, as per city regulations.
  • The recall effort stems from Engardio’s support for Proposition K, which permanently closed the Upper Great Highway to vehicles to create parkland, despite opposition from westside neighborhoods.
  • Engardio has expressed confidence that voters will reject the recall, emphasizing his broader work on public safety, housing, and local economic issues.
