A.R.S. § 19-202

Recall petition; limitations; subsequent petition

Applied in 1 court decision — leading case 141 Wash. 2d 756 - In re the Recall of Pearsall-Stipek (2000)

Most recently applied in 141 Wash. 2d 756 - In re the Recall of Pearsall-Stipek (September 2000)

A. A recall petition shall not be circulated against any officer until the officer has held office for six months, except that a petition may be filed against a member of the legislature at any time after five days from the beginning of the first session after the member's election. The commencement of a subsequent term in the same office does not renew the six month period delaying the circulation of a recall petition.

B. After one recall petition and election, no further recall petition shall be filed against the same officer during the term for which the officer was elected unless the petitioners signing the petition first, at the time of application for the subsequent recall petition, pay into the public treasury from which such election expenses were paid all expenses of the preceding election.
