Recall provisions allow voters to
a.
remember what measures were on the ballot.
b.
remove an elected official from office.
c.
vote on a measure again if the vote was close.
d.
bring an elected official back after the term of office has expired.
By definition, recall means to take something back or remove it from somewhere it had previously gained access to. So, if there is a recall provision in voting, it allows people to "take back" an official that had been elected.
