A petition has been filed to recall Henderson Senator Joyce Woodhouse.
Former Republican Assemblyman Stephen Silberkraus is leading the recall effort.
Nevada law does not require a reason to file a recall petition.
Silberkraus and Woodhouse did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
State Senate Majority Leader Aaron Ford blasted the effort, calling it a “pitiful attempt to subvert the will of voters.”
For the effort to succeed, signatures would need to be gathered from 25 percent of people who cast a ballot in the Senate District 5 in 2016. If that happens by Oct. 31, a date would be chosen to hold a special election.
