Paragraph 39
 

In Switzerland, recall of municipal executives is possible in two cantons: Uri and Ticino. However, recall procedures in Switzerland do not target individual elected politicians, but the local body as a whole. Therefore, they function more as a no-confidence vote rather than an instrument to sanction elected individuals.
