What’s the protocol in Colorado for recall?

Does a majority vote in favor of recall force another election?

Laws governing recall in Colorado.

The number of valid signatures required to force a special recall election is 25% of the votes cast in the last election for the official being recalled.

...

If a majority of participants vote “No” in the recall, the official whom the recall was filed against will remain in their position. If there is a majority of “Yes” votes, then the new official will be the candidate on the list with the most votes.
