A CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT TO CREATE A PROCEDURE FOR THE RECALL OF CERTAIN ELECTED OFFICIALS.

HJR 1007 proposes a constitutional amendment to establish a process for recalling elected officials in Arkansas. This amendment would allow qualified electors to petition for the recall of a wide range of officials, including the Governor, state legislators, judges, and various county and local officeholders. To initiate a recall, a notice of intent must be filed, followed by a recall petition. The petition requires signatures from at least 25% of the votes cast for Governor in the last election within the relevant jurisdiction, with specific county distribution requirements for statewide recalls. The Secretary of State or Attorney General would then determine the petition's sufficiency.
