Basic Wisconsin Recall Information Below

The Wisconsin Government Accountability Board has posted important information about Senate recalls, and also an explanation about when Walker petitions can be circulated and submitted:

"Like all other public officials, the Governor of Wisconsin is not eligible for recall until he or she has served at least one year in the current term of office.  Recall petitions cannot be circulated until early November, 2011, and cannot be offered for filing until January 3, 2012.

"The number of signatures required to trigger a recall election for Governor is 540,208, or one-quarter of the 2,160,832 votes cast for Governor in the November 2010 General Election."
