  • Requires that to recall a trustee, a majority of votes cast in the recall election must favor recall, and the total votes cast must equal or exceed the number of votes cast in the last trustee election held in the district.

  • Requires individuals signing recall petitions or voting in recall elections to meet the same requirements as other district electors under section 33-2702, Idaho Code.
