Alameda County to hold first ever recall election for district attorney
On April 15, the Alameda County Registrar of Voters announced that the recall campaign against Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price had submitted enough valid signatures to qualify for an election. According to ABC 7, this will be the first time a district attorney has faced a recall election in Alameda County.
The California county has a population of approximately 1,622,188. We cover two cities in the county: Oakland and Fremont.
Ballotpedia has covered 33 district attorneys who have faced recalls since 2009. Of those, 31 served at the county level and two at the city level.
