Here are the top six candidates whom likely voters chose in a poll conducted by the Institute of Governmental Studies at UC Berkeley from July 18 to 24.

When California voters look at their ballots for the Sept. 14 recall election, they will see 46 candidates who are running to replace Gov. Gavin Newsom. If a majority of voters mark “Yes” on the recall, Newsom will be removed from office, and 1 of these 46 people will become the state’s next leader.

Today, we’ll meet the top 6 candidates: Larry Elder, Kevin Faulconer, John Cox, Kevin Kiley, Caitlyn Jenner, and Kevin Paffrath.

Guest: Katie Orr, reporter with KQED’s Politics and Government Desk
