Elections BC announces failure of recall petition against Vancouver MLA Dallas Brodie

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
