Take 3 minutes to understand Proposition C, which seeks to limit the frequency of recalls in San Francisco

Prop. C is all about “recall reform”—narrowing the window in which recalls can occur and limiting the power of post-recall mayoral appointees. If that sounds confusing, you’re not alone. We break it down into simpler terms in this video explainer.

It’s recallpalooza in San Francisco, with the successful recall of three school board members behind us and the potential recall of district attorney Chesa Boudin ahead of us.

In fact, all these recalls have some supervisors feeling like recalls should play less of a role in SF politics—hence Proposition C, a charter amendment that seeks to limit how easy it is to get a recall off the ground.

Come the June 7, San Francisco voters will be asked to weigh in on Proposition C. So watch this video before you head to the polls so you know what you’re voting for, and why.
