=== Section 10. ===

Any elected official of the state, of any county or of any legislative
or county commissioner district shall be subject to recall by petition
of electors equal in number to twenty-five percent of those who voted at
the preceding general election for the office of governor in the state,
county, or district in which the official is to be recalled.

The petition shall be filed with the official with whom a petition for
nomination to the office in question is filed, who shall call a special
election if he finds the petition valid and sufficient.  No elector may
remove his name from a recall petition.

The name of the official to be recalled shall be placed on the ballot
unless he resigns within ten days after the filing of the petition.
Other candidates for the office may be nominated in a manner provided by
law. When the election results have been officially declared, the
candidate receiving the highest number of votes shall be deemed elected
for the remainder of the term. No official shall be subject twice to
recall during the term for which he was elected.
