Section 22 of the Recall and Initiative Act and section 6 of the Recall Petition Administration Regulation sets out the duties of canvassers. How does Elections BC handle complaints about the behaviour of canvassers?
Complaints relating to the conduct of canvassers are reviewed by Elections BC to determine their validity. Where a complaint is found to be valid, the proponent is advised to correct the conduct of their canvassers. Canvassers must ensure that they abide by the legislation and regulations with respect to canvassing.
