Bill overview
This bill proposes an ordinance for the town of Bridgewater, Massachusetts, allowing for the possibility of holding recall elections for elected town officials. Currently, Bridgewater does not have a formal process for recalling elected officials. This legislation would establish a mechanism for residents to remove an elected official from office before the end of their term through a special election. It builds upon similar efforts in neighboring towns like East Bridgewater.
