FL S1688

Proposes a constitutional amendment allowing Florida voters to recall the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Cabinet members, and state legislators before their terms expire

Requires recall petitions for statewide officials to gather signatures from all 67 counties equaling 15% of votes cast in the last election for that office; legislator recalls require 20% of votes from the legislator's district

Petitions must be filed with the Secretary of State within 120 days, and the sufficiency of the stated reason for recall is not subject to review

Recall elections must be held 60-80 days after signature certification, with a simultaneous election to choose a successor; the recalled official cannot run for the same seat

Officials who survive a recall vote receive reimbursement for personal election expenses and are protected from further recall attempts for the remainder of their term
