Solar ordinance commissioner recalls

Current understanding

Recall petitions have been filed against multiple Huron County commissioners based on their votes on the county’s solar ordinance, with a new batch targeting three additional commissioners on top of any prior filings. The petitions are at the filing stage and have not yet resulted in removals or ordinance changes; they run in parallel to a countywide referendum on the same ordinance scheduled for the August 4, 2026 primary ballot.
