Establishes recall election procedures for elected officers in the town of Charlemont, Massachusetts.

This bill outlines the process for recall elections in the town of Charlemont, Massachusetts. It allows for the recall of any elected officer with more than six months remaining in their term. The process begins with at least fifty voters filing an affidavit with the town clerk, stating the grounds for recall. If the recall petitions contain sufficient signatures, the town clerk notifies the select board, which then orders an election. The incumbent officer cannot be a candidate in the recall election.
