Proposes constitutional amendment creating recall power allowing electors to remove Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Cabinet members, and legislators before their terms expire.

Recall process initiated by petition to custodian of state records with 120-day circulation period; sufficiency of reason for recall is not reviewable.

Recall election and successor election held simultaneously 60-80 days after petition certification, with recalled official ineligible as candidate; if not recalled, official reimbursed for expenses and protected from subsequent recall petitions during remainder of term.

Amendment subject to voter approval at next general election or earlier special election authorized by law.
