IL SB2254

Amends the Illinois Election Code to establish a recall mechanism for local elected officials with terms of 2 years or more, with exceptions for officials having less than 9 months remaining in their term.

Requires a recall petition signed by at least 15% of voters who voted in the preceding gubernatorial election in the official's jurisdiction, filed at least 61 days before the next regularly scheduled election.

Allows petition circulation only after an affidavit of intent is filed, with signatures collected within 120 days; requires affidavit to be signed by the petition proponent and at least 4 elected officials representing at least 25% of the same constituents as the official facing recall.

Mandates recall election be held at the next regularly scheduled election or within 78 days of petition filing, with removal occurring if a majority of voters voting on the question vote in favor.

Prohibits a removed official from being appointed or elected to the same office within one year and limits recall elections to one per official per term of office.
