The proposed resolution HJR1003 aims to amend the Arkansas Constitution to create a formal procedure for the recall of various elected officials, including the Governor, members of the legislature, judges, and county officials. The amendment specifies that a recall can be initiated through a petition signed by at least 25% of the votes cast for Governor in the last election, with additional requirements for signatures from different counties or districts based on the official's jurisdiction. The process begins with a notice of intent to circulate a recall petition, followed by a designated timeline for gathering signatures and submitting the petition to the Secretary of State. If the petition is validated, a special election will be held to allow voters to decide on the official's removal.

Furthermore, the resolution establishes that after one recall election, no additional petitions can be filed against the same official during their current term. It also addresses the financial responsibilities associated with conducting recall elections and stipulates that the amendment will take effect on January 1, 2025, if approved by voters in the next general election. Overall, the intent of this resolution is to enhance democratic accountability by providing constituents with a mechanism to hold elected officials responsible for their actions while ensuring that the process is clearly defined and accessible.
