Lake Arthur Mayor Robert Bertrand resigned from office on May 31, 2017, as a recall effort against him progressed to the secretary of state. A petition from Amos Beverly was approved for circulation by the secretary on June 1, 2017, but became unnecessary after Bertrand's resignation.[1]

Beverly filed a recall petition with the secretary of state in May 2017 but the petition was rejected due to an omitted filing address. Beverly corrected the error and resubmitted the petition, which was approved on June 1, 2017. If Bertrand did not resign, Beverly would have needed signatures equaling one-third of the registered voters in Lake Arthur to require a recall election.[1]
