which state was the first to use recall in the us
One of the general principles of recall is that a certain period of grace exists between the election and the start of a recall effort, usually around six months. The Los Angeles city charter of 1903 was the first in the United States to adopt the recall. In 1908, Oregon became the first state to approve the practice. Today 11 states and hundreds of local governments include recall provisions in their constitutions or charters. The concept of recall generated great controversy with respect to recalling of the judiciary.
