The resolution proposes a constitutional amendment to create a formal recall procedure for elected officials in Arkansas, including the Governor, members of the legislature, judges, and various local positions. It establishes that a recall can be initiated through a petition signed by a specified percentage of qualified voters, based on the previous gubernatorial election's turnout. Once sufficient signatures are collected and verified by the Secretary of State, a special election will be held to decide whether the official should be removed from office.
Furthermore, the amendment includes provisions that prevent additional recall petitions against the same official during their current term after one recall election has taken place. It also outlines the financial responsibilities associated with conducting these elections and specifies that the amendment will take effect on January 1, 2025, if approved by voters in the upcoming general election. Overall, the resolution aims to enhance accountability among elected officials by providing voters with a clear mechanism to remove them from office when necessary.
