A clarity/factual hearing is a required stage in the process of recall campaigns in Michigan. Groups or individuals who wish to have a politician removed must submit proposed recall petitions to either the Board of State Canvassers or the County Election Commission.[1]
- Recall petitions targeting state and county officers (except county commissioners) must be filed with the Board of State Canvassers (BSC) prior to circulation. The BSC will make clarity/factual determinations, with appeals to the Court of Appeals.[1]
- Recall petitions targeting all local officials, including county commissioners, will be submitted to the County Election Commission for clarity/factual determinations, with appeal to the Circuit Court.[1]
The clarity/factual hearing must be held between 10-20 days after the filing of the petition. [1]
