Recall
Recall is a process that allows registered voters to remove their Member of the Legislative Assembly from office between elections.
The Chief Electoral Officer has approved 20 recall applications since 1995. Of the 20 petitions issued, four were returned to Elections BC, two proceeded to verification, and one continued through the full verification process. Nineteen of the 20 petitions failed as they did not collect enough valid signatures. The other petition was halted during the verification process because the MLA in question resigned.
A detailed guide to the recall process, a list of frequently asked recall questions, a library of our recall forms and guides and two reports concerning the recall process in B.C. are available.
