Overview
- Dallas Brodie faces a recall petition that Elections BC says it will issue Thursday, May 21, opening a signature drive that runs to July 20 and requires 15,232 voter signatures.
- If Elections BC verifies that threshold, the seat would be declared vacant and a by‑election would be called within 90 days, and Brodie could run again.
- Elections BC notes recall drives in B.C. are rarely successful, with no petition removing an MLA since the process began in 1995.
- The proponent is listed as Dorothy Cumming, and Brodie said she is “perfectly fine” with the effort as a democratic right while arguing the push comes from NDP activists outside her riding.
- Brodie was expelled from the B.C. Conservative caucus earlier this year after leader John Rustad said she mocked residential school survivors, and she later launched OneBC but currently sits as an Independent.
