Six Alberta UCP MLAs, including cabinet ministers, face recall due to public concerns over education, communication, and controversial votes.

Six more Alberta UCP MLAs, including cabinet ministers, are facing recall petitions after Elections Alberta approved the campaigns, bringing the total to nine. The petitions, driven by concerns over public education, communication, and controversial votes like using the notwithstanding clause, could shift the legislature’s balance if successful. The recall process requires 60% of 2023 election votes in each riding and allows a special vote if enough signatures are collected over 90 days. Premier Danielle Smith has raised concerns about misuse, citing potential online fundraising and foreign interference, and may seek legal changes. The recall act was introduced under former premier Jason Kenney.
