County voters will gain the ability to recall county commissioners before their term ends by collecting petition signatures from either 15% of voters in the commissioner's district or 5% of county voters. The recall petition must allege specific grounds for removal, such as corruption, crimes in office, incompetency, or misconduct, and the State Board of Elections will set the detailed procedures for how recalls work.
