Petitioner looking to recall Alberta Premier Danielle Smith says application approved
The recall petition requires over 12,000 signatures from Brooks-Medicine Hat residents and follows similar efforts against 14 United Conservative MLAs, Elections Alberta said.
- On Dec. 3, 2025, Elections Alberta formally approved a recall petition application targeting Danielle Smith, Premier of Alberta, The Canadian Press first reported.
- Under the rules, signature collection waits until Smith has a week to file a response and the three‑month campaign is formally recognized, with Brooks‑Medicine Hat needing more than 12,000 signatures to trigger a byelection.
- The United Conservative caucus said recalls target breaches of trust, not policy disputes, and Smith has not responded to a request for comment, the party spokesperson said.
- Amid a wider push, a Nov. 24 statement noted six more recall petitions approved against United Conservative MLAs, with petitions already approved for 14 others including cabinet ministers.
