- Elections BC approved a recall petition against Vancouver-Quilchena MLA Dallas Brodie on Thursday, announcing the document will be issued May 21. The process follows requirements under the Recall and Initiative Act.
- To succeed, canvassers must collect signatures from 15,232 people, or 40 per cent of eligible voters in Vancouver-Quilchena, by July 20. Signatories must have been registered to vote in the riding on Oct. 19, 2024.
- Dorothy Cumming serves as the proponent for the recall effort. If successful, the petition would vacate the seat and trigger a byelection within 90 days under the Recall and Initiative Act.
