SECTION 8.01 RECALL.
   The voters of the Municipality shall have power to recall and remove from office any member of the Council before the expiration of such member's term, such power being known as the recall. A recall may be started by filing with the City Clerk a petition signed by qualified voters equal in number to twenty-five percent of those who cast ballots for the member of Council receiving the highest number of votes at the last preceding municipal election, requesting that a Council member, named in the petition be removed from office. If the City Clerk finds the petition sufficient, the City Clerk shall certify to the Board of Elections of Franklin County, to be placed on the ballot at the next succeeding municipal or State election occurring not less than ninety days thereafter, the question: "Shall John or Jane Doe (using the name of the Councilperson named in the petition) be recalled from office as member of Council in the Municipality of Worthington? Yes     . No     ". If, at the election, a majority of votes cast on the question shall be in favor of recall, the Council member shall forthwith retire from the office, and the Council shall fill the vacancy thus created in the manner provided in this Charter. No recall petition shall be filed against a Council member during such member's first six months in office. If a Council member against whom a petition is filed is continued in office by the vote at the election, no further recall petitions may be filed against such member for a period of one year.
