Hyperon recoil polarization measurements for the exclusive electroproduction of $$K^+\Lambda$$ and $$K^+\Sigma^0$$ final states from an unpolarized proton target have been carried out using the CLAS12 spectrometer at Jefferson Laboratory. The measurements at beam energies of 6.535~GeV and 7.546~GeV span the range of four-momentum transfer $Q^2$ from 0.3 to 4.5~GeV$^2$ and invariant mass $$W$$ from 1.6 to 2.4~GeV, while covering the full center-of-mass angular range of the $K^+$. These new $$\Lambda$$ polarization observables extend the existing data in a similar kinematic range but from a significantly larger dataset. However, they represent the first electroproduction measurements of this observable for the $$\Sigma^0$$. Finally, these data will allow for better exploration of the reaction mechanism in strangeness production, for further understanding of the spectrum and structure of excited nucleon states that couple to $KY$, and for improved insight into the strong interaction in the non-perturbative domain.
