Q&A; -- A recall Q&A; in Sunday’s Section A incorrectly stated that new recall petitions cannot be circulated until six months after the current election. A sitting governor who survives a recall election has a six-month grace period before new petitions can be circulated. But if Gov. Gray Davis is ousted, his successor could become the subject of a recall campaign as soon as the election results are certified.
