The petition to recall Surrey-Green Timbers MLA Rachna Singh, B.C.’s education minister, has failed.

It didn’t receive the number of signatures the Recall and Initiative Act requires. It was submitted to Elections BC on Jan. 29, 2024.

The petition was issued to Gurdeep Jassal on Nov. 30 and 101 voters were registered as canvassers to collect signatures.

According to a press release issued Monday by Elections BC, both the recall proponent and MLA must file financial disclosure reports with the Chief Electoral Officer by Feb.
