Does the state of Texas allow the voters to recall their governor?
No, the State of Texas does not allow voters to recall their Governor. Within the United States, only eighteen states and the District of Columbia allow for the recall of state officials. Most of these states do not require specific grounds for recall, and the recall is performed through election. In Texas the Governor may still be removed through impeachment, which is a legal process whereby the state legislature brings charges against the Governor, and the state senate acts as a jury with the power to remove them from office. The last impeachment of a Governor in the United States was of Rob Blagojevich, the former Governor of Illinois, on January 14th, 2009. Texas does not provide for the recall of local officials either, although this is more common, with at least 29 states providing for recall elections at the level of local jurisdictions.
Does Ohio allow voters to recall governor?
According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, yes, Washington state allows the recall election of any statewide official holding public office. Washington state has specific required grounds for recall. The exact grounds are the " commission of some act or acts of malfeasance or misfeasance while in office, or who has violation of oath of office (Const. Art. I §33)." Once these grounds have been deemed met, a petition is circulated for 270 days and requires signatures of 25% of the votes in the last election for state Governor. If this triggers a recall election, only the question of whether or not the Governor should be recalled is asked. If the majority of cast ballots agree that the Governor should be recalled, the office is declared vacant. In Washington state a replacement is appointed by the county board of commissioners who select from a list submitted by a committee of the former Governor's political party.
What is recall effort in politics?
In the United States, and perhaps in other nations, some US States have a provision in their constitutions or in their laws that provides the people with a recourse when elected officials are deemed to be doing a poor job. This for example is a law in the US State of California. What can happen is this; voters are dissatisfied with the performance of their State governor. If enough petitions are presented, the voters do not have to wait for the next election to vote a governor out of office. The "recall" is a vote by the people to have an immediate election that will either keep the current governor in office, or vote for another candidate for governor.
