The recall effort must collect 101,597 signatures, from registered San Diego voters, by September 26. If the full number of required signatures are turned into the City Clerk within that 39-day period, a signature-verification process of up to 30 days commences.
Once the clerk has verified that the petition has the full 101,597 valid signatures, the City Clerk must present the petition to the City Council at the earliest opportunity. The City Council must schedule an election within 60 to 90 days of the official presentation.
