Since 1913, there have been 182 recall attempts of state officials in California, including the latest involving Democrat Gov. Gavin Newsom, which is the eighth attempt to recall him since he took office in January 2019.

In 11 instances, the recall efforts collected enough signatures to qualify for the ballot, and of those, an elected official was recalled six times, according to data from the California Secretary of State.

The only California governor voted out of office was Democrat Gray Davis in 2003; Republican Arnold Schwarzenegger replaced him. Davis was just one of two U.S. governors to be voted out of office through a recall election; the other was North Dakota Republican Lynn Frazier in 1921.
