211C.04 PROPOSED PETITION; SUBMITTAL.
A petition to recall a state officer may be proposed by 25 or more persons, who must be
eligible to sign and shall sign the proposed petition for the recall of the officer. The persons
submitting the petition must designate in writing no more than three individuals among them
to represent all petitioners in matters relating to the recall. The proposed petition must be
submitted to the secretary of state in the manner and form required by the secretary of state and be
accompanied by a fee of $100. After the secretary of state issues a petition to recall a state officer
under section 211C.06, the secretary of state may not accept a proposed petition to recall the same
officer until either the earlier petition is dismissed by the secretary of state for a deficiency of
signatures under section 211C.06, or the recall election brought about by the earlier petition results
in the officer retaining the office. Upon receiving a proposed petition that satisfies the requirements
of this section, the secretary of state shall immediately notify in writing the state officer named and
forward the proposed petition to the clerk of the appellate courts for action under section 211C.05.
