SANTA CLARA COUNTY, CALIF. – County of Santa Clara Registrar of Voters Shannon Bushey certified the results of the September 14, 2021 California Gubernatorial Recall Election today.
“The Gubernatorial Recall Election was scheduled with only 70 days to conduct the election, instead of the typical 6 month timeframe.” Bushey said. “Volunteers and staff worked hard to conduct an efficient election.”
The final turnout for this Recall Election totaled 638,555 ballots cast, representing 63.04% of the 1,012,905 registered voters. Governor Newsom retains his office as more than 50 percent of votes casted in California were against the recall.
The Canvass was conducted by the Registrar of Voters office to complete the official counting of all qualified ballots. Any discrepancies were resolved through canvassing of official election materials and the voting system. A manual tally of 1% of the total number of precincts in these contests were also conducted as part of the Canvass.
