EDMONTON – Alberta’s chief electoral officer has approved a third recall petition application against a United Conservative Party legislature member.

Elections Alberta says Grande Prairie MLA Nolan Dyck is the latest target, with earlier applications approved for backbencher Angela Pitt and Education Minister Demetrios Nicolaides.

The approval kick-starts a three-month signature collection period that, if successful, would force a vote on whether or not Dyck keeps his seat in the legislature.

The woman behind the petition on Dyck says in the application that he has been dismissing concerns of his constituents and ignoring attempts to contact him. 

She also says her motivation is driven by Dyck’s support of the UCP government using the notwithstanding clause to end a provincewide teachers strike last month.

Dyck, in a  statement to the electoral officer, says he has been accessible to his constituents and he met with the petition applicant in the summer.

Dyck says it’s an honour to represent Grande Prairie and decisions he makes in the legislature advance priorities that voters elected him for.
