Editing Recall election (section)

=== Peru ===
Recall regulations were introduced in Peru by the [[Democratic Constituent Congress]] (''Congreso Constituyente Democrático'') which drafted a new constitution after [[Alberto Fujimori]]'s [[Self-coup|''autogolpe'']] in 1992. Between 1997 and 2013, more than 5000 recall referendums were activated against democratically elected authorities from 747 Peruvian municipalities (45.5% of all municipalities). This makes Peru the world's most intensive user of this mechanism.<ref>{{Cite journal |last1=Welp |first1=Yanina |year=2016 |title=Recall referendums in Peruvian municipalities: A political weapon for bad losers or an instrument of accountability? |journal=Democratization |volume=23 |issue=7 |pages=1162–1179 |doi=10.1080/13510347.2015.1060222 |s2cid=147241493}}</ref>
