Petitioner claims Alberta MLA Dale Nally broke election rules in recall dispute

EDMONTON — The petitioner seeking to have an Alberta cabinet minister removed as a legislator says he believes the politician broke election laws by publicizing his voting record.

Joshua Eberhart, in a public letter posted to social media, accuses Nally of both breaking Alberta’s Elections Act by publishing the voting information and using it to spread misinformation about the reason behind the petition.

Eberhart says he’ll ask the election commissioner to investigate whether Nally broke the law.

The petitioner says he has voted in past elections and, contrary to Nally’s assertions, is not part of an organized left-wing group seeking to have legislature members recalled.

Eberhart says he launched the petition to have the Service Alberta minister removed because Nally, and others in the United Conservative caucus, recently voted to use the Charter’s notwithstanding clause to end a provincewide teachers strike.

There are ongoing signature campaigns to remove 14 UCP caucus members, including Nally, with many petitioners citing that use of the notwithstanding clause as a driving factor.

Nally, who represents the constituency of Morinville-St.-Albert, on Edmonton’s northern outskirts, could not be immediately reached for comment.
