In Peru, the country using most intensively recall votes (“revocatoria”) at the local level in the world, the recall is also constitutionally protected as a citizens’ participatory right (see Article 2.17 and Article 31.1 of the Constitution). Mayors and local councils’ members’, directly elected, are subject to popular recall vote, as stipulated by Article 194.3 of the Constitution. The national legislation further specifies this right and establishes the conditions and procedure for the recall. The National Elections Jury has stressed that one of the requirements related to a popular recall is “to substantiate the request”, meaning to give reasonable support to the reasons for recall. This implies giving details on why the concerned authority is questioned, on the shortcomings in the exercise of the function (“which must have affected notoriously their adequate performance”), and the incidence of such problems on the local management. In 2017, 27 such votes took place, of which 13 were successful.
