Paragraph 56
 

In the United States, the recall exists not only at the level of the individual states but also at local level. In at least 29 US federal states, there are specific rules for the removal of locally elected officials, including mayors and members of local councils. Each state that permits the recall has its own internal rules for managing the process.
