| Description | Introduction
Recall gives voters the right to reconsider their choice of an elected official; however, it does not automatically result in removal of an official from office. It provides an opportunity for voters to require an elected official to run for office again before the expiration of his or her term. The requirements for initiating recall efforts are very specific and must be carefully followed.
The statutory provisions for recalling state, county, congressional, legislative, and judicial elected officials are provided in ยง9.10, Wis. Stats. These include registering with the appropriate filing officer, and preparing, circulating, and filing a petition.
A "Glossary of Terms" used in the discussion of recall procedures is found on pages 10-11. |
