Book excerpt: The legislature is authorized pursuant to article 4, section 3 of the Kansas constitution to prescribe the grounds and procedures for recall of elected public officials. The procedure set forth by the legislature obligates the county or district attorney to determine the sufficiency of the grounds asserted in a petition seeking the recall of a local officer. The county or district attorney does not determine whether the local officer should be subject to recall. Rather, the county or district attorney determines whether the grounds are set forth with sufficient particularity so as to permit the local officer an opportunity to prepare a statement in justification of the officer's conduct in office.
