§ 25.10-1002. Recall Procedure.

   A recall of an incumbent of an elective office shall be initiated upon petition signed by thirty per cent (30%) of the registered electors of the Township-at-large, or of the district if the incumbent is a district Council member. Every recall petition shall name the office and officer against whom it is directed.

 Each elector signing a recall petition shall add to his signature his occupation, residence, election district, and the date of signing. Signatures on a recall petition may be on separate sheets, but each sheet shall have appended to it the affidavit of some person, not necessarily a signer of the petition, that to the best of the affiant’s knowledge and belief, the persons whose signatures appear on the sheet are registered electors of the Municipality, that they signed with full knowledge of the contents of the petition, and that their residences are correctly given.

 A recall petition shall be tendered for filing to the County Board of Elections. No signature shall be counted as valid which is dated more than sixty (60) days prior to the date the petition is tendered for filing. Upon tender to the Board of Elections, the petition shall be available for examination by any interested person. Within fifteen (15) days after the tender of the petition, the Board of Elections shall have the authority to pass upon the validity of the petition and upon the validity and number of signatures required thereon. The decision of the Board of Elections shall be subject to immediate review on appeal to the Court of Common Pleas.
