Abstract

The article deals with a specific type of municipal liability that is a recall of a deputy,
member of an elected local government, elected official of local self-government by the
population of municipality, its procedure on the basis of the analysis of federal laws and
statutes of individual municipalities is analyzed. Municipal liability and recall procedure
are considered in some foreign countries. Particular attention is paid to the shortcomings of
the current legislation on the recall and methods of its elimination. On the basis of analysis
of legal acts one makes conclusion on the need to improve the existing legislation in the
field of regulation and recall procedure. The author concludes that there is a need for a unified
mechanism to attract municipal liability in the form of a clear regulatory review by this
institution at the federal level with some features provided by municipal entities. Federal
Law "On General Principles of Local Self-Government in the Russian Federation" establishes
the right of the municipality population to recall a deputy, a member of the elected
body of local self-government, an elected official of the local government. The law does
not reveal the concept and features of the recall, which causes a variety of approaches to
this definition and its essential features in the scientific literature. Feedback can be defined
as a kind of negative legal liability, coming in connection with violation of local government
elected official legal norms, the consequence of which is the termination of his powers
at the request of a certain number of the population of the respective municipality.
