§ Article 135(untitled)

ollection of signatures of voters in support of the proposal to initiate the
 issue of recalling a deputy
 A proposal to raise the issue of recalling a deputy, adopted at a meeting of voters, must be
supported by at least 20 percent of citizens who have the right to vote and live in the territory
of the relevant district. The number of voters required to support the proposal to initiate the
issue of recalling a deputy is determined based on the number of voters in the district on
election day.
 From the date of receipt of the certificate of its registration, the initiative group has the right
to collect voter signatures on signature sheets throughout the district. Voter signatures
collected before the registration of the initiative group are not taken into account. The initiative
group bears the costs of collecting voter signatures.
 Signature sheets must contain the wording of the proposal to recall the deputy, indicating
the reasons for the recall, the surname, first name, patronymic (if any) of the deputy, date of
birth, position of the employee (worker's profession, occupation), place of work and place of
residence (city; urban settlement or rural settlement indicating the district), the year of election
as a deputy (of the House of Representatives, the corresponding local Council of Deputies),
party affiliation, as well as the last name, first name, patronymic of the member of the initiative
group collecting signatures, and the number of the certificate of registration of the initiative
group. The signature sheet must indicate the last day for collecting signatures.
 The deadline for collecting voter signatures in support of the proposal to initiate the issue
of recalling a deputy is 45 days from the date of receipt of the certificate of registration of the
initiative group. If several initiative groups have been formed and registered in the district, the
period for collecting signatures for each of them, regardless of the date of their registration, is
limited to 45 days from the date of registration of the first initiative group.
 If the required number of signatures has not been collected within 45 days, further collection
of voter signatures is terminated.
