Illinois HJRCA0025 proposes constitutional amendments to allow the recall of local government officials and judges.

Illinois HJRCA0025 proposes constitutional amendments to establish a recall process for local government officials and judges. The recall process requires a petition signed by a percentage of voters from the previous gubernatorial election, varying by jurisdiction size. If the petition is valid, the official can respond, and the recall question is placed on the next general election ballot. If recalled, the top vote-getter replaces the official. Recalled officials are ineligible for public office for ten years.
