With the recall vote of Jackson County Executive Frank White Jr. looming, here's a breakdown of what would happen if White is voted out of office.

The special recall election is Sept. 30, and if White is removed, the chairman of the Jackson County Legislature will choose an interim executive.

A majority vote from the Jackson County Legislature must be taken within 30 days of the recall to determine who fills the remainder of White's term.
