- The recall effort against Michigan Governor Rick Snyder (R) is set to expire. A recall petition in Michigan must be submitted to the secretary of state within 180 days of its approval, and signatures must have been gathered within a 60-day period. Four recall petitions were approved against Snyder this year, three of which were related to the Flint water crisis. Two of the petitioners joined forces to advance the petition currently in circulation, which was approved in February; collection efforts began on March 27, 2016. The two remaining recall petitions were not pursued.
- On July 14, petition backers reported having gathered between 250,000 and 300,000 of the required 789,133 signatures. The campaign extended the end of its 60-day window several times in an attempt to collect the required number of signatures, but it invalidated many of the signatures obtained in the first months of the campaign by doing so. The recall is not expected to make it on the ballot.
