Assembly Vote
12th Assembly, 7th SessionApril 6, 1995
Topic
Thank you, Mr. Speaker. I move, seconded by the honourable Member for Yellowknife South, that Bill 31, Recall Act, be read for the second time. Mr. Speaker, this allows voters from an electoral district of a Member of the Legislative Assembly to apply to the chief electoral officer for the issuance of a petition for the recall of the Member. Where a recall petition is issued and is signed by the required number of voters, the chief electoral officer shall declare that the seat of the Member is vacant and direct that a by-election be held to fill the seat. Thank you, Mr. Speaker.
