The recall touches upon the very essence of a representative democracy, a system based, by definition, on the principle of representation, where citizens transfer their sovereignty - that is, the right to rule - to their elected representatives who, on behalf of the citizens, make decisions and establish policies in the interest of all. In this system, regular elections, where voters opt for renewing/or not the mandates of elected representatives, constitute the main mechanism by which political accountability is realised. Obviously, within this framework, the recall raises the question as to whether and under which conditions voters, while transferring the power to decide to elected representatives, might retain a “right" to decide to recall (“un-elect”) those elected representatives in case of dissatisfaction with their work, without waiting for the next regular elections.
