Each recall petition in Michigan must be approved for circulation during a clarity hearing held by the county election commission. This hearing determines if the charges made in the petition are clear enough for a voter to understand. If approved for circulation, a recall organizer can initiate the signature-gathering process.
Petitioners began gathering signatures on January 5, 2018, and turned in more than the 41 signatures required for each recall petition.[1]
