VICTORIA – Elections BC says the petition to recall Vancouver-Quilchena MLA Dallas Brodie has failed.
The elections agency says the bid to recall the OneBC leader collected less than a quarter of the required number of signatures to initiate her ouster from the legislature.
It says in a statement that the proponent submitted just under 3,700 signatures, well below the threshold of the more than 15,000 it required, and Elections BC will not take any further action on the petition now that it has failed.
The petition’s supporters had said that Brodie put her new political party ahead of the needs of her constituents and local priorities like affordability, health care and community services
Elections BC says the petition’s proponent, Brodie and registered advertisers have until mid-August to submit financial disclosures to B.C.’s Chief Electoral Officer.
Elections BC says there have been 31 attempts to recall MLAs since the province passed its recall legislation in 1995, and none has ever met the act’s requirements, although in 1998, opponents of Paul Reitsma collected enough signatures, but he resigned before the petition was certified.
