Eliminate State Officer Recall Successor Elections Amendment
Plain-English Summary
A legislatively referred constitutional amendment that would eliminate the simultaneous successor election in state officer recalls. Instead, if a state officer is recalled, the office would remain vacant until filled per existing constitutional and statutory succession rules (e.g., the Lieutenant Governor would succeed a recalled Governor).
What each outcome does
If approved, ballots in state officer recalls would only ask voters whether to recall the official; the office would then be filled by the existing line of succession rather than by a separate candidate election on the same ballot.
If rejected, the current process remains, in which voters in a state officer recall both decide whether to recall the official and choose a replacement on the same ballot.
