It's a two-part ballot. On the first part, the voters will choose "yes" or "no" to recall Governor Gray Davis while in the second part they select from a list of replacement candidates.
Voters are able to vote "no" on the recall and still select one of the replacement candidates or skip either of the two questions.
If a majority of voters choose to recall Gov. Gary Davis, then the replacement candidate with the most votes becomes governor. However, if the voters choose to keep Gov. Davis then the replacement vote is meaningless.
