Establishes recall elections for local government officials in Illinois.
The Local Government Elected Official Recall Act allows for the recall of local officeholders elected in general or consolidated elections. It sets specific petition requirements, including a percentage of signatures based on the jurisdiction's population. If the petition is valid, the recall question is submitted at the next general or consolidated election. The official is removed if a three-fifths majority votes for recall. The Act limits home rule powers and specifies that recall procedures are in addition to other removal methods.
