An effort in Arvin, California, to recall city council members Jose Gurrola, Jazmin Robles, and Jess Ortiz from their positions was launched in February 2016.[1] The recall did not go to a vote because insufficient signatures were submitted against all three officials.

Recall supporters including Mayor Jose Flores wanted to remove Gurrola, Robles, and Ortiz over delays in hiring a new police chief.[1]
