Any elected official of the Town of Middletown may be recalled or removed from office through a process that includes the petition of at least 20% of persons registered to vote at the last election and notarized signature of each collector. Within seven (7) days after receipt of the petition, the board of canvassers having certified the petition, the town clerk shall notify the official involved by certified mail. If the board of canvassers determines that a petition does not contain the names of at least 20% of persons registered to vote at the last election, the petitioners may within 30 days submit a supplemental petition containing additional names of persons registered to vote at the last election, whereupon the board of canvassers shall then redetermine whether to certify the petition. The recall vote shall be taken no earlier than thirty (30) days and no later than forty-five (45) days after certification of the petition by the board of canvassers, but in no case shall a recall vote be taken within the last 180 days of a term. (Amended, November 4, 2008.)
