This bill amends Section 34-1702 of the Idaho Code, which outlines the requirements for signatures on petitions for recall elections. The amendment specifies that for cities that elect council members based on districts, the petition must be signed by registered electors residing within the relevant district. Specifically, it requires that the number of signatures must equal twenty percent (20%) of the electors registered to vote in the last election for that district. This change aims to clarify the process for recall petitions in districts with council members elected by district.

Additionally, the bill maintains existing provisions for other types of officers, detailing the signature requirements based on the level of government (state, legislative district, county, or city). It also establishes that if a district is located in multiple counties, the county clerks will perform the necessary functions within their respective counties. The bill declares an emergency, allowing it to take effect immediately upon passage and approval.
