  • A)

    The Mayor or any Council member may be recalled from office in accordance with the State statutes which establish procedures for the recall of municipal elective officers, except as otherwise provided in this Charter.

    B)

    A petition to recall the Mayor or a Council member shall be signed by registered electors of the Town. The petition shall be signed by at least twenty-five (25) percent of the entire vote cast for all the candidates for the office which is subject to the recall at the last preceding election at which the office was filled by election.

    (Charter 2003; amended by Ordinance No. 2018-876, adopted January 18, 2018 and passed at election April 3, 2018.)

    C)

    If the office held by the person sought to be recalled would otherwise be filled at a regular Town election scheduled to be held within ninety (90) days after submission of the recall petition, the petition shall not be accepted and no recall election shall be held.

    D)

    If a regular Town election is scheduled to be held within ninety (90) days after submission of the recall petition, even though that election is not the one at which the office held by the person sought to be recalled would otherwise be filled, the recall election shall be held at the same time as that regular Town election.

    E)

    If a general statewide election is scheduled to be held within ninety (90) days after submission of the recall petition, the recall election shall be held at the same time as that statewide election.

    F)

    After one (1) recall petition and election during a person's term, no further petition shall be filed against that person during the same term, unless the petition signers number at least fifty (50) percent of the entire vote cast for all the candidates for the office which is subject to the recall at the last preceding election at which the office was filled by election.
