Effort to Recall B.C. MLA Dallas Brodie Falls Short

The proponent gathered 3,663 signatures, far short of the 15,232 needed to force Brodie from the legislature, Elections BC said.

  • On Monday, Elections BC rejected the petition to recall Vancouver-Quilchena MLA Dallas Brodie after organizers failed to gather the required signatures to force her ouster from the legislature.
  • Recall proponent Dorothy Cumming submitted 3,663 signatures, well below the threshold of more than 15,000 required from the 15,232 eligible voters in the riding to trigger removal of the OneBC Party leader.
  • Since the Recall and Initiative Act came into force in 1995, 31 recall petitions have been issued against MLAs, yet none have successfully met the statutory requirements to remove a legislator.
  • In a written statement, Brodie claimed the campaign failed miserably while thanking organizers for creating "more awareness of her campaign against the reconciliation industry."
  • The proponent, Brodie, and advertising sponsors must file financial disclosure reports with the Chief Electoral Officer by August 17, 2026, to conclude the administrative requirements.
