§ 4.140.010. Purpose.  


Latest version.
  • It is the purpose of this chapter to define and clarify the procedures to be followed in recall proceedings. Recall of elected officials is authorized by the Constitution of Alaska and Alaska Statutes. As such its availability to the public must be facilitated while, at the same time, the integrity of the procedures must be maintained through mechanisms which discourage, reduce, and prevent both the occurrence and appearance of fraud. Further, in order to insure clear, fixed and reliable standards, it is necessary that citizens and those officials charged with the validation of petitions be able to rely on designated officials, and on the published voter registration records of the state.
