Apart from the circus-like nature of the event, how did the recall election differ from a regular election? In what respects was it similar to a regular election?

What will be an ideal response?


Varies. Elements or aspects of the election that differed from a normal election cycle: the election season was short (about half as long as a normal cycle); low barriers to entry onto the ballot brought forth 135 qualified candidates (usually there are only two major party candidates); the media was intently focused on the event, more so than usual; the public became intensely engaged in the process. Elements similar to a normal cycle: it was expensive (about $80 million was spent); a few top candidates emerged and the media closely scrutinized them; televised debates were held among the top candidates.
