The 2024 Alameda County District Attorney recall election was a successful special recall election to remove Alameda County District Attorney Pamela Price. It was held on November 5, 2024.

Background

It was confirmed by the Alameda Voter Registrar on April 15 that the recall effort had the valid 73,195 signatures necessary to trigger a recall election.[1] The date and legitimacy of the election will be confirmed by the board of supervisors on April 30. Jim Sutton, a lawyer for Price, plans to raise objections at the meeting.

Price was originally elected to the District Attorney office in 2022, with 53% of the vote, beating out Terry Wiley.[2] Price ran with her experience as a criminal defense attorney, fighting against discrimination and retaliation.[3] During her time in office, she was accused of being soft on crime over lax prosecution[4], such as when her office initially suggested noncarceral charges against the gang members involved the shooting of 23-month-old Jasper Wu.
