설명
A recall is a political process that allows voters to remove an elected official from office before their term is completed. It is a form of direct democracy that empowers the electorate to take action if they believe the official is not fulfilling their responsibilities or has lost their trust.
Unlike impeachment, which is a legal process initiated by a legislative body to remove an official for misconduct, a recall is initiated by voters through a petition. If enough signatures are gathered, a recall election is held to decide whether the official should remain in office or be replaced.
The process of recall is usually laid out in the constitution or electoral laws of a country.
