In a democracy like the U.S., a small band of committed voters can leverage major public debate, and sometimes change, through ballot petitions.
Nixa voters will have the option to recall Mayor Brian Steele at a special election set for Nov. 2, Christian County Clerk Kay Brown confirmed this week, after a handful of citizens took action.
On Monday, the Committee to Recall the Mayor of Nixa, Missouri submitted a recall petition to the City of Nixa with 97 signatures, 73 of which were found to be valid registered voters living inside city limits by the clerk s office, under rules that call for a number of signatures matching at least 10% of the votes cast in the most recent mayoral election, Brown said.
