Idaho Recall Law Tightens Time and Signatures for Sheriff Recall
Petitioners seeking Sheriff Robert Wilcox recall face a 60 day signature window and no second chance if initial effort fails under a law signed by Gov. Cecil Andrus. Recall votes must match or exceed the officer's last election tally and occur 30 to 40 days after certification. The measure also limits repeated recall attempts within a single term.
