Mark, You write: > Likewise, in a staggered term election, those subject to recall are those > elected in the same election. If 8 people were elected, _all_ will stand > to be recalled even if you are only targetting _one_ person. As I understand it, this is inconsistent with the KPFA election model, which makes clear that the staggering is irrelevant. It is only the Board "in its entirety" which can be recalled. See relevant section of KPFA Model below: SECTION H: RECALL H.1 The Board in its entirety can be recalled through an initiative process. H.2 Any qualified voter must collect signatures of other qualified voters (as describedfined in Section B) totalling 15% of the total votes cast in the previous election to force a recall vote. H.3 Ballots for the recall election should be distributed as described in section E above. The election shall be considered valid only if the number of ballots returned equals 50% of the number of ballots cast in the previous regular Board election. The election period of 30 days may not be extended. H.4 Recall would require a simple majority (greater than 50%) of the votes cast. If the recall vote succeeds, a new election to replace the whole Board will be held within 90 days. Recalled Board members would be eligible to be re-elected in this election after completing the normal nomination and campaign process.. ------------------------ Yahoo!
