The claim
署名400万人集めれば小池都知事をリコールできる
Original review summary
The review says the claim is inaccurate: based on Tokyo’s June 2024 electorate, a recall would require about 1.54 million signatures, not 4 million. It also notes that Koike could not be recalled during the first year of her third term, which began on July 31, 2024.[S1]
Additional context
The review describes recall as requiring a petition followed by a public vote; removal would occur if a majority of voters supported it. [S1]
