recall petition
Removal signature drive
A recall petition is a formal document signed by voters to demand a special election that could remove an elected official from office before their term ends.
The petition must typically gather signatures from a specified percentage of eligible voters within a deadline.
If successful, it triggers a recall election where voters decide whether the official stays or goes: The governor faced a recall petition after the controversial policy passed.
