An effort in Maywood, California, to recall City Clerk Gerardo Mayagoitia, Mayor Ramon Medina, and City Councilmen Eduardo De La Riva, Sergio Calderon, Thomas Martin, and Ricardo Villarreal from their positions was launched in September 2016. All six officials were served with recall notices during a city council meeting on September 14, 2016. None of the officials were recalled due to a lack of sufficient signatures by a March 2017 filing deadline.

Recall supporters

Recall notices were given to Medina, Calderon, Martin, and Villareal due to their support for amended zoning language that would have allowed marijuana dispensaries in the city. Mayagoitia and De La Riva told the Los Angeles Times that they were targeted for recall due to their ongoing opposition to the council majority.

Recalls of local officials in California start with notices of intent to targeted officials. Each notice requires signatures from 10 city residents, the name of the targeted official, and reasoning for the recall that cannot exceed 200 words. A copy of the notice is delivered to the city clerk, who publishes the notice in at least three public places. Targeted officials have seven days following receipt of their notices to issue statements of defense.

Recall organizers in Maywood needed to gather signatures totaling at least 20 percent of the registered voters at the time of petition circulation to force an election.
