Absolutely. There is only one catch: the elected official cannot be recalled until they have served at least one year in office. For example, there is a huge push to recall Gov. Walker but the actual recall cannot occur until January of 2012, his first full year in office. He is fully able to be recalled on January of 2012 but not before then. This is the same policy for state representatives.

According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, Wisconsin law permits the recall of a Governor. In fact, Wisconsin permits the recall of any statewide official in the state. 17 other states also allow recall elections. Wisconsin does not require any specific grounds for recall.

To recall a Governor, a petition must be circulated for 60 days and collect 25% of the votes cast in the last election for Governor. Wisconsin holds its recall election simultaneously with the election for the position successor. In Wisconsin the ballot consists of a list of candidates for the Governorship, and the name of the former Governor is automatically included as a candidate for reelection.
