The bill titled "An Act relative to recall elections in the town of Danvers" establishes a framework for the recall of town-wide elected officials in Danvers, Massachusetts. It stipulates that any elected official with more than six months remaining in their term can be recalled by registered voters, provided that the grounds for recall do not include their votes on matters unrelated to conflict-of-interest violations. The process begins with the filing of a recall affidavit signed by at least 350 registered voters, which must include the officer's name, the office they hold, and the grounds for recall. Following this, a recall petition must be filed containing signatures from at least 20% of the registered voters, and the town clerk is responsible for certifying the petition and notifying the relevant parties.

If the recall petition is certified, a recall election will be scheduled within a specified timeframe unless another town election is imminent. The bill also outlines the procedures for conducting the election, including the format of the ballot and the continuation of the incumbent's duties until the election occurs. Additionally, it includes provisions that prevent a recall petition from being filed within six months of an officer's assumption of office or within six months after a failed recall attempt. Officers who are recalled are barred from being appointed to any town office for 12 months following their removal. The act will take effect upon its passage.
