These figures represent a small decline from <a href="/Ballotpedia%27s_Mid-Year_Recall_Report_(2021)" title="Ballotpedia's Mid-Year Recall Report (2021)">2021</a>, when we tallied 165 recall efforts against 263 officials by midyear.

The lowest was 72 in <a href="/Ballotpedia%27s_Mid-Year_Recall_Report_(2019)" title="Ballotpedia's Mid-Year Recall Report (2019)">2019</a>. </p><p>Since 2020, Ballotpedia has tracked recalls related to coronavirus and government responses to it. We have tallied 245 such efforts since 2020, including 27 efforts against 66 officials in the first half of 2022. <a href="/Recalls_related_to_the_coronavirus_(COVID-19)_and_government_responses_to_the_pandemic" title="Recalls related to the coronavirus (COVID-19) and government responses to the pandemic">Click here for the full list</a>. </p><p>For the second year in a row, <a href="/School_board_recalls" title="School board recalls">school board members</a> drew more recall petitions than any other group. One-third of officials who faced recall campaigns in the first half of 2022 were school board members. However, this was a drop compared to June 2021 when 48% of officials facing a recall campaign were school board members. <a href="/City_council_recalls" title="City council recalls">City council members</a>—the officials who drew the most efforts from 2016 to 2020—accounted for 32% of officials targeted for recall in 2022. </p><p>For the first time since Ballotpedia started tracking this statistic in 2015, Michigan was the state with the most officials facing recall efforts in the first half of the year. Michigan saw 70 officials subject to a recall campaign, surpassing California, which had the most officials targeted for recall midway through the year from 2015 through 2021. So far this year, California had 64 officials facing a recall effort. </p><p>Notable recalls across the first half of 2022 included the following: </p> <ul><li>Colorado Governor <a href="/Jared_Polis" title="Jared Polis">Jared Polis</a> (D) faced a recall effort in early 2022 that did not qualify for the ballot after organizers did not turn in signed petitions by the deadline. Recall supporters criticized Polis’s handling of the coronavirus pandemic and alleged that he had not paid federal taxes from 2013 to 2015. This was the third recall attempt against Polis since he was elected in 2018.<sup id="cite_ref-polis_1-0" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-polis-1">[1]</a></sup></li></ul> <ul><li>Voters in Leelanau County, Michigan, <a href="/William_Bunek_recall,_Leelanau_County,_Michigan_(2021-2022)" title="William Bunek recall, Leelanau County, Michigan (2021-2022)">recalled County Commissioner William Bunek</a> (R) and elected Lois Bahle (D) as his replacement in an election on May 3, 2022. The election switched the board majority from Republican to Democratic.
