Alberta’s Chief Electoral Officer has given the green light for a petition to recall a third UCP politician.

Gordon McClure has determined that the petition, filed by Casey Klein, meets the requirements to recall Grande Prairie UCP MLA Nolan Dyck.

Dyck, Premier Danielle Smith, and Legislative Speaker Ric McIver were issued the approval on November 14, 2025, and were given the right to submit a statement in response to the applicant’s statement. At the time of writing, Dyck has not responded to the petition.

Applicant Casey Klein will need to collect at least 9,427 signatures in the Grande Prairie riding from November 22, 2025, to February 19, 2026.

Klein will be able to register canvassers to collect signatures over the 90-day period, but will need to meet a list of requirements, including:

Within seven days after completing verification (by March 20, 2026), Elections Alberta will report the results to Klein, Dyck, Danielle Smith, and Ric McIver. Results will be published on the Elections Alberta website.
