Proposition 5 is a California ballot measure currently scheduled for voting on November 3, 2026. It would eliminate the election to pick a successor immediately after a recall. This market will resolve to “Yes” if the specified ballot measure is approved by a majority of voters at the California statewide general election currently scheduled for November 3, 2026. Otherwise, this market will resolve to “No.” If voting on the specified ballot measure does not occur, or the results thereof are not known definitively, by March 31, 2027, this market will resolve to “No”. This market will resolve based on a consensus of credible reporting. If there is ambiguity, this market will resolve solely based on official information from the State of California, including the California Secretary of State (https://www.sos.ca.gov/).With no major legislative proposals, ballot qualifications, or court rulings advancing in recent months, traders assign a 59% implied probability against passage of the California Recall Election Reform Proposition. The state's existing recall framework, requiring signatures equal to 12% of the prior gubernatorial vote and a majority replacement threshold, remains unchanged without new amendments or voter initiatives gaining traction. Absent endorsements from legislative leaders or shifts in polling on related election reforms, the current consensus reflects ongoing stability in procedural rules and limited momentum for alterations before the next election cycle.
