Recall organizers initiated the recall after the approval of an ordinance in January 2018 that would have established districts as opt-in areas for medical marijuana growing, processing, transportation, and testing facilities. That ordinance was later repealed.[1]

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 were required to submit 561 signatures; 25 percent of the votes cast in the 2014 gubernatorial election.[1]
