Recall Elections
Recall elections are an electoral device in American politics, which allow citizens to remove an elected official from office before the end of that person’s term in office. Recall elections are considered an extension of democracy in that; they allow citizens to hold elected officials to account after they have been elected and during their term in office.

If over 50% of Americas are unaware that their state has an individual state constitution, then it is likely that the same number might not know about recall elections. Recall elections do not apply to federal elections but both houses of Congress have the right to remove officials who do meet the standards required by Congress. ...
The recall election in California will take place on October 7, 2003. There have been 31 previous attempts to recall governors, none of which actually reached the ballot.
