November 5, 2024

Because N.D.C.C. § 40-05.1-06 does not grant home rule charter cities the power to provide for the recall of elected city officials, a home rule charter city may not adopt an ordinance which conflicts with the process for the recall of city officers set forth in N.D.C.C. § 44-08-21.
