The Calhoun County Election Commission determined in a clarity hearing on March 21, 2022, that the recall petition was sufficiently clear and factual for the recall process to proceed.[1][3]
To force a special recall election to have been scheduled, organizers needed to collect around 142 signatures, which represented 25% of the votes cast for governor in LaNoue's district during the previous gubernatorial election.[1]
