IN government says no.
Does Indiana allow elected officials to be removedby recall vote?

No. The Indiana Constitution permits state and local officials to be removed only “in the manner provided by law.” (Article 6, Section 8) There is currently no Indiana law to permit recall elections, although some other states do allow recall elections.

Can you recall the Arkansas governor’s son?

Seems that he’s the one who made the decision.

There is a list of which states permit recall elections on this site. Arkansas isn’t one of the states listed.

Arkansas requires signatures amounting to 35% of the people who voted in the previous election. They would need about 300000 signatures to force a recall of Hutchison

If there are no such laws in Indiana or Arkansas, then it’s up to the citizens to work with their state lawmakers to make such laws.

As a word of caution, citizens need to approve of recall laws as such laws have been rumored to actually protect lawmakers.

In fact, maybe we need a constitutional amendment that requires state recall laws to be approved of by legal majority voter referendum.

Push for more restoration of the recognition of our rights, and fight for them daily. Government can only recognize our natural rights, not grant them. It is up to us not to give them away.

Punishing politicians for being politicians doesn’t make sense, but supporting conservatives, especially in small local races raises the overall level of conservatives in government.
