RETURNING OFFICER

Electors have the opportunity to petition for the recall of a municipal councillor 18 months after their election. This means Albertans will be able to initiate a petition starting on April 18, 2023, if a councillor was elected in the last general election of October 18, 2021.

Councillors elected in a summer village or via by-election are subject to the same 18-month legislative provision, meaning the window to start a recall petition may differ from those elected during the last general election.

Chief Administrative Officers have a role to play in this petition process. For more information on municipal councillor recall, please review our handbook at: https://open.alberta.ca/publications/recall-of-a-municipal-councillor-handbook (Recall Handbook).

A recording of the Recall of Municipal Councillor training from Fall 2022 is also available for viewing at https://youtu.be/tl0dBtdBT9A (Recall Training).
