EstablishedNineteen US states plus the District of Columbia allow recall of state officials. Los Angeles adopted recall in 1903 and Oregon the first state-wide provision in 1908; four governors have faced recall elections (Frazier 1921, Davis 2003, Walker 2012, Newsom 2021), of whom two were removed.
