Question

Which of the following reform measures could voters use against a mayor they opposed ?a recall , an impeachment , a referendum, an initiative.

Answer 1

For taking action against a politician who is already elected to his or her office, voters would turn to a recall, which can be initiated if enough voters agree that the mayor should be replaced.

Answer 2

a recall

A recall is a vote on whether or not to keep or replace an existing elected official.

The recall process protects voters from a fraudulent or ineffective elected official. Citizens can petition for a recall vote by getting signatures of other citizens showing support for the recall vote. Once a recall vote is granted, there is a new election where the elected official must go against challengers for their position. If they win the recall, they remain in office. If they lose, they are replaced by the person winning the most votes.
