CHAPTER XV
RECALL ELECTIONS
Sec. 1500.  General Conduct of Recall Elections.
Except as provided in this Chapter and Chapter VII, Article D of this Code and in the applicable portions of Charter Sections 430 through 440, Recall Elections shall be conducted and the votes tallied in the same manner as provided for Primary Nominating, General Municipal and Special Elections.
  Sec. 1501.  Ordering of a Recall Election.
When a recall petition is presented to the City Council by the City Clerk, the City Council shall within 20 days, by ordinance, call for the holding of a Special Election, and if necessary a Special Runoff Election, for the purpose of submitting to the voters of the City at large, of the Council District, or of the Board of Education District, as the case may be, the question of whether the officer shall be recalled, and if recalled, for the election of the successor.  The Special Election shall be held not less than 88 days nor more than 125 days after the date of City Council action on the petition; provided, however, that if any other election for any purpose at which all the qualified voters of the City, of the Council District, or of the Board of Education District, as the case may be, are entitled to vote, is to occur during that time period, the City Council shall order the holding of the recall election and the consolidation thereof with the other election.
Sec. 1502.  One Recall Election to Remove More than One Official.
One election is sufficient for the recall of one or more elective officials, but a separate petition is necessary to propose the recall of each official.
