This week's question was, What was the recall success rate between 2010 and 2022?

You answered: 16.44%
That's correct!

From 2010 to 2022, Ballotpedia covered an average of 211 recall efforts against an average of 347 officials per year. Those recalls saw a 16.44% success rate.

Later this month, Ballotpedia will release its 2023 year-end recall analysis, one of two reports we publish each year on recall efforts against elected officials nationwide. ICYMI, we published our mid-year report back in June—click here to check it out.

Here's a snippet of what we found in our mid-year report:

• From January 1 through June 21, 2023, Ballotpedia covered 149 recall efforts against 227 officials. These figures represent a small decline from 2022, when we tallied 152 recall efforts against 240 officials by June. In comparison, the highest number of recall efforts we have tracked by mid-year was 189 in 2016. The lowest was 72 in 2019.
• Unlike 2022 when school board officials drew more recall petitions than any other group by mid-year, city council officials have been subject to more recall attempts of any officeholder type in 2023. City council officials ultimately drew more recall petitions than other officeholder types by the end of 2022, and so far in 2023, they account for 46% of recall targets across all office types.

Stay tuned for our year-end report!
