Recall of elected municipal officers.

HB 22 establishes a process for Wyoming residents to remove elected municipal officers (like mayors or city council members) through a voter petition. To trigger a recall, a petition must collect signatures from at least 25% of registered voters in the municipality, include general grounds for removal, and follow specific filing rules. If valid, the city clerk schedules a special election 30-40 days later, with a preliminary primary election if multiple candidates run for the position. The officer seeking removal can run against opponents, and the winner takes office for the remaining term unless they fail to qualify within 10 days. This bill directly affects local elected officials in Wyoming cities and towns, effective July 1, 2026.
