Our goal is to cover every recall effort that is officially underway across the United States. We consider a recall effort to be officially underway if some form of paperwork has been submitted to begin the recall process.
Recall outcome statistics
Ballotpedia's mid-year recall report reported that there were 152 recall efforts against 240 officials in the United States as of June 22, 2022.
The chart below details the results of recall efforts that were resolved by reaching the ballot, failing to reach the ballot, or due to a resignation. This chart will be updated when Ballotpedia's year-end report is published in December 2022.
