recall election

Read a random definition: communia precepta

A quick definition of recall election:

A recall election is when people get to vote to remove a public official from their job. It's like a do-over election to decide if the person should keep their position or not. It's a way for the people to have a say in who is in charge.

A more thorough explanation:

A recall election is a type of election where voters have the opportunity to remove a public official from office. This means that if people are unhappy with the way an elected official is doing their job, they can try to get them kicked out of office before their term is up.

For example, if the mayor of a city is not doing a good job, the citizens of that city can organize a recall election to try to remove the mayor from office. The voters would then have the opportunity to vote on whether or not to keep the mayor in office.

Another example would be if a state governor is involved in a scandal or is not fulfilling their duties, the citizens of that state can organize a recall election to try to remove the governor from office.

Recall elections are a way for citizens to hold their elected officials accountable and ensure that they are doing their job properly. It gives people the power to remove officials who are not serving the best interests of the community.

@mastermonkey45: Looking at some of the recent decisions in relation to when they went complete, I'd say it's a good sign. It seems many declines were sent within about 5-6 weeks of completion. Given those were applications that were SENT in January, I'd say that means you're still solidly in the running. :)
