This law says that if a recall petition is sent out in more than one county, each part of the petition must show the county’s name and only voters from that county can sign that part.

Key Takeaways

•Each county’s section of a multi‑county recall petition must be labeled with that county’s name.
•Only registered voters from that county may sign that county’s section.
•The rule helps keep signatures tied to the right voters in each county.

Example

A group wants to recall the county sheriff and they send the petition in County A and County B.
