A number of entities of federal states also provide for the recall of their own authorities. In Switzerland, this is the case in six cantons: Uri - for all elected authorities -; Bern, Solothurn, Schaffhausen, Thurgau, Ticino - for the canton’s Parliament and/or government as a whole; three cantons abolished the recall in the framework of constitutional revisions - Aargau (1980), Basel Landschaft (1984), and Lucerne (2007). Nevertheless, the instrument appears to be of little relevance in practice, the few attempts to recall having failed, usually due to insufficient number of signatures (except for the Parliament of Aargau in 1862). In Germany, the recall of Parliament exists in five Länder: Bavaria, Rheinland-Pfalz, Brandenburg, Berlin and Bremen. Similar provisions may be found in the Russian Federation, for members of regional parliaments. A few unitary states also provide for recall at subnational level, such as Croatia – for the country prefects and their deputies, and Poland. Outside Europe – and apart from the countries which allow the recall of all authorities -, recall exists at the level of federate entities for example in the United States where 19 federal states practice recall of elected state officials, and in Canada where British Columbia provides for recall of MPs at provincial level. In Japan, recall is possible for all subnational authorities.
