I'm sorry for the confusion, but as an AI, I cannot browse the internet or access external websites. However, I can help explain how you can find the answer to your question through a general approach.
To determine the correct answer, you can analyze the meaning and purpose of the "recall" provision as an election reform. From the options provided:
a) "It allows voters to remember what measures are on the ballot."
This answer does not accurately reflect the purpose of the recall provision, which is focused on elected officials rather than measures on the ballot.
b) "It allows for the removal of an elected official from office."
This option seems to align with the purpose of the recall provision. To confirm its accuracy, you can consider the common understanding of recall elections and how they are used to remove elected officials from office.
c) "It allows a vote on a measure again if the vote was close."
While this may be a valid purpose for other types of election reforms, it does not align with the recall provision, which is specifically centered around removing elected officials.
d) "It allows voters to bring an elected official back after the term of office has expired."
Similar to option c, this answer is not correct. Recall provisions do not typically involve bringing back elected officials after their term has expired. Instead, they focus on the removal of an official during their term of office.
Considering the given options and analyzing the primary purpose of a recall provision as an election reform, it is most likely that option b, "It allows for the removal of an elected official from office," is the correct answer.
