The Pedalshift Project 256: Green Goblin Retirement Tour – Day 5

Recall Elections

On this episode, we’re talking about recall elections. A recall is a procedure that allows citizens to remove and replace a public official before the official’s term of office ends. Historically, recalls have been used most frequently at the local level and this year, and this year we’re seeing a very prominent effort in California. Can nonprofits advocate in a recall election?

Attorneys for this episode:  Quyen Tu, Natalie Ossenfort, Tim Mooney

 

Topics:

History/Development of Recall

What can nonprofits do and say in recall elections?

Example: Mayoral Recall in Portland, Oregon

Example: Gubernatorial Recall in California

 

Resources:

Ballot Measures and Recalls: Basic Rules for 501(c)(3) Public Charities, 501(c)(4)s, and Unions
