QuickList on the 21 Alberta politicians facing citizen recall petitions

On Dec. 10, 2025, Elections Alberta approved recall petitions against twenty United Conservative Party MLAs and Opposition NDP member Amanda Chapman, The Canadian Press reported.
Originating under former premier Jason Kenney, the Alberta Recall Act requires petitioners to submit a 100-word reason and pay a $500 processing fee, marking its first provincial use.
Petitioners say some MLAs, including Myles McDougall and Muhammad Yaseen, supported the notwithstanding clause to end the teachers' strike, while Adriana LaGrange faces allegations over health contracts and education cuts.
If approved by Elections Alberta, applicants have 90 days to collect signatures equal to 60 per cent of 2023 votes, triggering a recall vote within four months.
Targeted MLAs Nolan Dyck, Nathan Neudorf, and Ric McIver warn unspecified petitioners are partisan activists weaponizing the Recall Act, raising concern about governance stability and political strain.
