□ to reform the state constitution

□ to establish term limits for elected office

Explanation:

• To reform the state constitution: Recalls are not typically used for constitutional reform; initiatives or constitutional amendments are more common for that, so this is incorrect.
• To create new laws drafted by citizens: That's the role of initiatives, not recalls. Recalls focus on removing officials, not creating laws, so this is incorrect.
• To approve the passage of Prohibition: Prohibition was a national and state - level legislative/constitutional matter, not related to recalls, so this is incorrect.
• To establish term limits for elected office: Term limits are usually set by legislation or constitutional amendments, not recalls. Recalls are about removing officials during their term, not setting term lengths, so this is incorrect.
• To remove elected officials on the local level: Recalls can be used at the local level in Arizona to remove elected officials who are not performing well or have violated the public trust, so this is correct.
• To remove elected officials at the state level: Arizona has had instances of recalling state - level elected officials. For example, there have been attempts and successful recalls of state officials in the past, so this is correct.
