1-7 less than twenty-five per cent (25%) of the number who actually voted in

1-9 the election in which he was elected, shall file their petition, in the manner

1-10 herein provided, demanding his recall by the people. They shall set forth in

1-12 said recall is demanded. If he shall offer his resignation, it shall be accepted

1-13 and take effect on the day it is offered, and the vacancy thereby caused

1-14 shall be filled in the manner provided by law. If he shall not resign within

1-15 five (5) days after the petition is filed, a special election shall be ordered to

1-17 state, or county, district, or municipality electing said officer, to determine

2-8 shall be filed with the officer with whom the petition for nomination to such

2-9 office shall be filed, and the same officer shall order the special election

2-10 when it is required. No such petition shall be circulated or filed against any

2-11 officer until he has actually held his office six (6) months, save and except

2-12 that it may be filed against a senator or assemblyman in the legislature at

2-14 election. After one such petition and special election, no further recall

2-15 petition shall be filed against the same officer during the term for which he

2-16 was elected, unless such further petitioners shall pay into the public

2-17 treasury from which the expenses of said special election have been paid,
