Who can collect signatures on a recall petition?
The proponent may be helped by volunteers to gather signatures. The volunteers are called “canvassers”, who must register with Elections BC prior to any canvassing. Elections BC issues identification cards to canvassers, who must carry the card with them when canvassing. The proponent must sign all canvasser applications. Signatures collected by unregistered canvassers will be disqualified during the petition verification process. Proponents may not pay anyone to collect signatures on a recall petition.
