When an elected official is voted out of office before the end of their administration, a recall is said to have happened. A recall can also be referred to as a recall referendum, recall petition or representative recall

The first time Recall was coined in USA was in the early 16th century in Colonial America. It had been coined by the laws of the General Court of the Massachusetts Bay Colony and it involved the removal of an official by one elected body.
