Editing Recall election (section)

=== Philippines ===
Article 10 of the [[constitution of the Philippines|1987 constitution of the Philippines]] allows for the recall of local officials. The Local Government Code, as amended, enabled the application of the provisions of the constitution. Elected officials from provincial governors to the [[barangay]] (village) councilors are potentially subject to recall. At least 15% of the electorate in a specific place must have their signatures verified in a petition in order for the recall to take place.<ref>
