Recall of Elected Representatives Bill

[As Introduced]
A
BILL
to

This bill would allow voters in a local area to trigger a recall vote that could force their MP out of office before the next general election, usually if a certain percentage of constituents sign a petition. Currently, the only way to remove an MP is through general elections every five years or if they break specific rules.

Presented by Zac Goldsmith.
