An attempt to recall Dan Davies as the MLA for Peace River North has failed.
Elections BC said Wednesday that the petition launched by Joseph Wayne Bell of Cecil Lake was not submitted to the agency as required by the April 4 deadline.
First elected in 2017, Davies is a former Fort St. John city councillor and elementary school teacher.
He is currently the provincial Opposition critic for social development and poverty reduction, and was appointed last year to provincial committees reviewing the opioid epidemic and police reform in B.C.
Canvassers needed to collect signatures of 10,487 eligible voters over the last two months for their petition to have been successful. Elections BC said 23 voters registered as canvassers to collect signatures.
Financial disclosure reports must now be filed by May 2, the agency said.
