SB 1466 would authorize recall elections for Tennessee local elected officials, including mayors, sheriffs, school board members, and county clerks. To initiate a recall, petitioners must collect signatures from 66% of voters who cast ballots for that office in the previous election, with specific requirements for the petition's content and a sworn affidavit verifying signatures. If the petition is approved, a special election is held where voters decide by majority vote whether to remove the official, with the office becoming vacant if recalled. The bill also prohibits recall elections within 90 days before or after regular elections. This bill directly affects local officials and voters in their jurisdictions, establishing a new process for their removal.
