Recall

  1. Petitions

    A petition seeking a recall election shall be submitted to the Elections Commission, as follows:

    1. A petition to recall one or more members of the Council of Presidents, the Financial Manager, and/or the Chair or Deputy Chair of the Senate shall not be valid unless it contains the signatures of at least 15 percent of the membership of the Association.

    2. A petition to recall one or more members of the Senate who represent the same constituency shall not be valid unless it contains the signatures of at least 15 per cent of the members of that constituency.

    3. A petition to recall two or more members of the Senate who represent different constituencies shall not be valid unless it contains the signatures of at least 15 per cent of the members of each constituency represented.

  2. Verification of Petitions

    The Elections Commission shall, if it determines the signatures on the petition to be authentic and sufficient in number, call and conduct a recall election on two consecutive days, not less than 10 nor more than 21 days after it has made its determination.

    If the Commission does not make a determination as to the authenticity of the signatures and their sufficiency in number within 7 days after the petitions have been submitted, its responsibilities devolve upon the Council of Presidents, or, in the case of a petition to recall one or more members of the Council of Presidents or the Financial Manager, upon the Senate. The Council of Presidents (or the Senate, if the responsibility devolves upon it) must make its determination as to the authenticity of the signatures and their sufficiency in number within 5 days after such responsibility has devolved upon it from the Elections Commission. If the petitions are determined to be in order, the Elections Commission shall call and conduct a recall election on two consecutive days not less than 10 nor more than 21 days after the petitions were determined to be in order.
