The Calhoun County Election Commission approved the recall petition for circulation in a clarity hearing on April 4, 2022.[2] Lawler said she would appeal the decision to the Calhoun County Circuit Court.[4]

For a special recall election to have been scheduled, organizers needed to collect signatures from 74 registered district voters. This figure represented 25% of the total votes cast for governor in Lawler's district during the previous gubernatorial election.[2]

No recall election was scheduled after organizers did not turn in signatures.[5]
