Canada: Alberta Premier looks to lower recall requirements

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith (UCP) is looking to change the recall requirements for MLAs. Among the proposals would be lower the beginning of the term grace period from 18 months to 12 months after election; increasing the signature collection time period from 60 to 90 days and decreasing the required signatures from 40 percent of registered voters to 60 percent of turnout (which is invariably lower).
