All five targeted officials were retained by voters on March 8.[2]
The Quartzsite City Council includes six officeholders. Five of them were targeted in the March 8, 2011 recall. Robert Kelley is the only person on the city council who did not face a recall election on March 8; recall organizers did collect signatures to recall him as well as the other five, but that signature count came up short.
Mayor Ed Foster was also not facing a recall election.
- Dean Foster initiated the recall efforts against Cowell and Winslow. He took on recall papers on them on March 9, 2010 and turned in the required recall signatures on June 14, 2010.
