DescriptionIf California Gov. Gray Davis is ousted in Tuesday's recall election, his successor will not take office for more than a month.

Though the outcome might be clear on election night or immediately after, California's process of certifying an election takes almost six weeks. Given the complexities of the ballot, which lists 135 candidates, election officials said they expect to use the full time allotment. Once the outcome becomes final and official, the winner will have up to 10 days to be sworn in.

County election officials have 28 days to provide a final count of their ballots.
