recall votes
Ouster ballot measures
Recall votes are elections that allow citizens to remove an elected official from office before their term ends.
Unlike impeachment, which is legislative, recalls put the decision directly to voters.
A successful recall typically requires gathering petition signatures to trigger the vote, then a majority voting for removal: The governor faced a recall vote over his handling of the budget crisis.
