An effort in Buckeye, Arizona, to recall Mayor Jackie Meck from his position was launched in November 2016. On March 16, 2017, recall organizers announced that they were unable to gather enough signatures to force a recall.[1][2]
Recall supporters
Meck was targeted for recall due to frustrations by city residents over a brief increase in water rates. The city was investigating billing and usage issues to determine the cause of rate increases in November 2016.[1][3]

Recall organizers needed to gather and submit at least 1,718 signatures from city residents by March 22, 2017, to continue the process. State law requires the county recorder's office to verify signatures and determine if a recall should be scheduled within 60 days of receiving petitions.[1] Recall organizer Jeff Hancock told local media on March 16, 2017, that there were insufficient signatures to meet the signature requirement.[2]
