Voters in Alameda County decide fate of DA Pamela Price and Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao in recall election

Voters in Alameda County will decide on Tuesday whether to recall District Attorney Pamela Price and Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao. This follows a year of debate over their performance. If Price is recalled, the Alameda County Board of Supervisors will appoint a successor to serve until the next general election in 2026. The board is expected to meet within two weeks after the election. For Thao, if recalled, she will remain in office until the vote is certified, likely by mid-December. The City Council President will then become interim mayor, with a special election required within 120 days.
