Really great White Paper from the New Jersey Election Law Enforcement Commission, looking at the use of the recall throughout NJ history.
The paper notes that the recall started in the state in 1911, but adopted it on the state level in 1995 (it was approved by voters in 1993).
Throughout the 112 years, there have been 649 targeted officials, resulting in 156 recall votes (in 80 elections). 96 officials lost, while 60 survived the vote. 87 officials may have resigned due to recall efforts.
The last recall in the state was in 2018.
