GAB offers recall timeframe

If recommendations made by Government Accountability Board staff in a memo released Friday are approved, recall primary elections will be held May 15, and general recall elections would take place June 12.

Earlier this month, GAB Director Kevin Kennedy  said the board would ask to extend the deadline to officially declare state recall elections from March 19 to April 6.

If Dane County Circuit Judge Richard Niess grants the extension, the recall primary will take place on May 15 and the main election will take place on June 12. It is unclear at this time whether the elections of Gov. Scott Walker and the four Republican state senators will take place simultaneously on these dates.

The GAB will meet Monday to discuss the issue.
