Does Ohio allow voters to recall governor?

Answer 1

According to the National Conference of State Legislatures, yes, Washington state allows the recall election of any statewide official holding public office.

Washington state has specific required grounds for recall. The exact grounds are the " commission of some act or acts of malfeasance or misfeasance while in office, or who has violation of oath of office (Const. Art. I §33)."

Once these grounds have been deemed met, a petition is circulated for 270 days and requires signatures of 25% of the votes in the last election for state Governor. If this triggers a recall election, only the question of whether or not the Governor should be recalled is asked. If the majority of cast ballots agree that the Governor should be recalled, the office is declared vacant. In Washington state a replacement is appointed by the county board of commissioners who select from a list submitted by a committee of the former Governor's political party.

Answer 2

No, New York state does not allow voters to recall the Governor. Within the United States, only eighteen states and the District of Columbia allow for the recall of state officials. Most of these states do not require specific grounds for recall, and the recall is performed through election.

In New York the Governor may still be removed through impeachment, which is a legal process whereby the state legislature brings charges against the Governor, and the state senate acts as a jury with the power to remove them from office.

New York does not provide for the recall of local officials either, although this is more common, with at least 29 states providing for recall elections at the level of local jurisdictions.
