How many signatures do we need? When do you have until?
8,593 signatures are required, but we aim for 9000 as a cushion. The final day to collect signatures is March 5, 2026.
What happens if enough valid signatures are collected? How does a Recall Work?
There are 5 stages to a recall:
- Application and approval
- Signature collecting for 90 days
- Submission and verification by Elections Alberta
- Referendum question in the riding – should Peter Singh be recalled, yes/no? If 50% or more vote yes, it triggers a by-election
- By-election takes place; any candidate, including Peter singh, can run.
Can I sign the petition if I voted for MLA Singh?
Yes. Signing the petition does not require you to oppose the MLA politically.
It simply allows voters to decide whether a by-election should be held.
Can I help without going door-to-door?
Yes. Supporters can help by:
- Assisting at signing stations
- Helping with event logistics
- Sharing signing information
- Supporting outreach efforts
- No door-to-door canvassing is required.
Is my personal information made public?
No. Personal information collected on the petition is used only for verification by Elections Alberta and is handled according to provincial privacy rules.
Where can I sign if I can’t attend a listed signing event?
Signing locations and events are updated regularly on our Signing Stations page.
If you cannot attend any signing event please contact recallpetersingh@outlook.com to discuss your options. We would like to ensure everyone who wants to sign is included.
Is getting all those signatures realistic?
In the 2023 election, Peter Singh won by a margin of 698 votes, where he received 7123 votes, and the next closest candidate trailing at 6425 votes. If we target those who already did not vote for him, and convince a few others to support our cause and advocate for a MLA that actually fights for our constituency, it’s achievable!
Can he see that I signed? I know him / have a prominent job that relies on government funding?
No, he will never see the list of signatures. The only people who see your name are your Canvasser and Elections AB. Canvassers have to abide by a code of conduct from Elections AB, and Elections AB is a non-partisan organization.
Do you need more canvassers?
Yes. Canvassers can sign up and collect signatures from their personal network or at community events. The application process takes about a week to be processed and receive credentials. Every contribution helps and is a great way to meet like-minded people.
What has the response been like?
We have seen lots of passion and encouragement from our community! There are many of us who feel left behind, and minimalized by this government and the support has been so meaningful!
Is this just unions, that orange political party, or others behind these recalls?
Nope. Denise is the recall organizer, and has lived in the riding with for over 30 years now. She is an average Albertan who is tired of our riding being left in the dust like we don’t matter. The campaign and volunteers are grassroots, and run on donations from community members in the riding.
