Bill > S2969

This bill establishes a recall election process in the town of Manchester-by-the-Sea, Massachusetts. It allows registered voters to initiate a recall of any elected town official for reasons such as lack of fitness, incompetence, neglect of duties, or corruption. The process involves filing an affidavit of intent to recall, gathering a specified number of signatures, and holding a recall election if the petition is certified as sufficient. The incumbent can run in the recall election, and if recalled, a successor is elected to fill the remainder of the term. The bill includes provisions to prevent frequent or frivolous recalls and to restrict recalled officials from serving in town government for a certain period.
