Students will be able to explain the purpose and use of the recall to hold state and local officials accountable for their actions; students will be able to identify how and where the referendum is used to initiate or approve legislation.

  • Which states grant recall powers to their citizens?
  • Who has been recalled and why?
  • How else do states limit the power of office holders?
  • How does voter power differ from state to state?
  • How democratic is the recall?

GeoInquiries™ are short, standards-based inquiry activities for teaching map-based content. This fifteen-minute activity does not require a login to or installation of ArcGIS Online.
