An Act providing for recall elections in the town of Dalton

HD 4858 establishes a process for recalling elected officials in the town of Dalton. Registered voters (50 or more) can initiate a recall by filing an affidavit with the Town Clerk, citing specific grounds like felony convictions, neglect of duties, or ethical violations. If a petition gathers signatures from at least 50% of voters who participated in the last annual town election, the Select Board must schedule a recall election within 60-90 days, requiring a majority vote *and* over 80% of the last annual election's voter turnout to succeed. The bill prohibits recalls within six months of taking office or during an officer's unexpired term after a successful recall.
