A new proposal to give voters more power to remove corrupt public officials is in the works in Illinois. Senator Jason Barickman of Bloomington is introducing three Constitutional Amendments that create a process for recalling elected officials statewide, as well as the Illinois Auditor General, House Speaker and Senate President. Currently, only the Governor can be recalled. The Amendments are still being drafted, but will require signatures from a certain percentage of voters to recall an official.
