A total of fifteen people turned in applications by Monday's deadline, seeking to become the county's next top prosecutor after Price's unprecedented recall in November.
Under that timeline, a new district attorney would be sworn in on Feb. 4, following a series of public interviews and selections throughout January.
Supervisor Lena Tam emphasized the selection process will be open and transparent, allowing public comments and support for candidates during the selection.
Unlike in Oakland, where a special election is scheduled for April 15 to replace recalled Mayor Sheng Thao, the process for selecting a replacement for Alameda County's recalled district attorney instead falls to the county's Board of Supervisors.
