With recall efforts underway in Alameda County targeting elected officials, voters have approved a measure to protect appointed officials from recall.

According to unofficial results, more than 65 percent of over 228,000 Alameda County voters in the March 5 primary voted in favor of Measure B—a proposal that says those appointed cannot be recalled, but also changes guidelines for recall efforts for those who are elected.
