2003 Gubernatorial Recall Results - California
 

These are the unofficial vote tallies and percentages for every candidate listed on the second part of the recall ballot. Even if a candidate withdrew from the race, his or her name remained on the ballot and collected votes. County election officials have until November 4 to complete their review of the ballots. Once the counts are verified, the CA Secretary of State can certify the election and the new governor can take the oath of office.
