Statement by Governor Jan Brewer
Recall election
“Today, in accordance with state law, I issued an order calling a special recall election. This action is mandated under ARS Section 19-209.
“Under Arizona law, the Governor must call a special election once the Secretary of State’s Office has certified that a sufficient number of valid recall petitions have been submitted. The special election will be November 8, 2011, as determined by ARS Section 16-204.”
Editors note: Governor Jan Brewer's order was in response to the successful gathering of signatures by west Mesa voters to recall State Senator Russell Pearce. Some 7,756 valid signatures were required and more than 10,000 were obtained. Pearce has the right to a legal challenge, but will have to file such a challenge by Monday, July 18.
