D 7. What if the verification process shows that sufficient valid signatures are on the petition?
If there are sufficient valid signatures and the financing requirements have been met by the proponent, the Member ceases to hold office and the seat of the Member becomes vacant. The Chief Electoral Officer reports to the Member and to the Speaker of the House as soon as possible after making a determination. A Writ for by-election must be issued within 90 days after receipt of the warrant by the Chief Electoral Officer. The recalled Member is not prohibited from running in the subsequent by-election.
