Unless otherwise provided by ordinance hereafter enacted, the provisions of the General Laws of the State of California, as the same now exist or may hereafter be amended, governing the initiative and referendum, and the recall of municipal officers shall apply in the City insofar as such provisions of the General Laws are not in conflict with this Charter.

With regard to recall, any elective officers may be recalled from office under and in pursuance of the provisions of the Constitution and general laws, provided, however, that in no case shall candidates be elected to fill the place or places of any officer sought to be recalled, but in case of such recall such office shall be deemed vacant and shall be filled by appointment as set forth in Section 2.5.
