§ 11240 Recall Election Order Issuance

• •The governing body has only 14 days to act after getting the certificate.
• •It must issue an official order for a recall election.
• •The election will decide whether the officer named in the petition is recalled.

A town council receives a certificate confirming that enough voters signed a petition to recall the town manager. The council must, within the next 14 days, set a date for a recall election.

The council looks at the certificate, counts 14 days, and then issues an official order saying a recall vote will happen to decide if the town manager stays or goes.
