recall campaign
Oust elected official
A recall campaign is an organized effort to remove an elected official from office before their term ends.
Unlike regular elections, recalls are initiated by citizens who gather petition signatures to force a special vote.
The term appears most often in American state and local politics: The governor faced a recall campaign over her handling of the budget crisis.
Recall campaigns may also target consumer products, urging people to return defective items.
