(a) Except as provided in subdivision (b), immediately after the deadline for submission of all signatures, the elections official shall verify any remaining signatures in the same manner set forth in subdivision (b) of Section 9031.  This verification shall apply to all signatures submitted to each county elections official.

(b) Notwithstanding subdivision (a) of this section and subdivision (b) of Section 9031, the elections official shall complete the verification of signatures within 30 days from the date of filing of the petition, excluding Saturdays, Sundays, and holidays, if the Secretary of State determines that the time reasonably needed to complete the 60-day verification process described in subdivision (b) of Section 9031 and the procedures described in Sections 11108, 11109, and 11110, could cause the recall election to be ineligible for consolidation with the next regularly scheduled election, as permitted by Section 15 of Article II of the California Constitution.
