All elected and/or appointed officials of the Osage Nation are subject to recall by the qualified Osage voters. The grounds for recall of a judicial officer shall be established by the Osage Nation Supreme Court. The grounds for recall of an officer other than a judge are serious malfeasance or nonfeasance, during the term of office, in the performance of the duties of the office or a conviction, during the term of office, of a felony or conviction of a misdemeanor involving moral turpitude. After certification of the Application, as set forth in Section 2 of this Article, a petition for recall shall be prepared by the person authorized by Osage law to do so and the petition shall set forth the specific conduct that may warrant recall. A recall petition may not be issued for circulation by the sponsors until the Osage Nation Supreme Court has determined that the facts alleged in the petition are true and are sufficient grounds for issuing a recall petition. A recall petition must be signed by qualified Osage voters who are equal in number to at least fifteen percent (15%) of the electorate. Upon a determination by the person authorized by Osage law to so determine that a petition has been signed by at least the minimum number of eligible voters, a recall election must be conducted in the manner provided by Osage law. The incumbent shall continue to perform the duties of the office until the recall election results are officially declared and, unless the incumbent declines or no longer qualifies, the incumbent shall without filing be deemed to have filed for the recall election. A recall election may not occur less than six (6) months before the end of the officer’s term. An officer who is removed from office by a recall election or who resigns from office after a petition for recall issues may not be appointed to fill the vacancy that is created. Additional procedures and grounds for recall may be prescribed by the Osage Nation Congress.
