The time has come for Chicago Residents to initiate a petition calling for a binding referendum to authorize and establish an ordinance to recall The Mayor of Chicago from office.
In many states throughout the Midwest (including WI, MI, MO and OH), the mechanism is already in place for voters to recall their mayor when warranted. In 2010, the voters, by a 2:1 margin, approved an amendment to the Illinois Constitution to recall the Governor of Illinois. However, the power to recall the Mayor of Chicago does not exist.
We intend to change that by March of 2026 (the next primary election date) with the help of YOUR ballot signatures.
Section 6F: Article 7 of the Illinois Constitution provides for the opportunity to have a mayoral recall if there are sufficient signatures on petitions seeking such action. Such Home Rule Ordinances have already been enacted in Arlington Heights, Buffalo Grove, and Wheeling, IL.
In Chicago, 56,464 signatures are required to have the referendum placed on the March 2026 Ballot.

By passing the Mayoral Recall Referendum, Chicago residents can ensure that the mayor in office is accountable 365 days a year during their term in office, not just on Election Day.
The most important factor of direct democracy is accountability to the citizens from the leaders they elect.”
John F Kennedy once famously said,” One person can make a difference, and everyone should try.”
