A second member of the Alberta legislature is facing a citizen petition to recall her from her job.
Chief electoral officer Gordon McClure said a recall campaign has been approved for United Conservative member Angela Pitt.
McClure did not say why the applicant asked for Pitt to be recalled.
The applicant can begin collecting signatures Wednesday.
Pitt represents the riding of Airdrie-East, on Calgary’s northern outskirts, and also serves as deputy speaker of the legislature.
Last month, a recall petition was approved for Education Minister Demetrios Nicolaides, with the applicant alleging Nicolaides is failing in his duties by undermining the public education system.
McClure said the cost of verifying these petitions and other potential referendum initiatives is taxing his staff, and he needs another $13.5 million to do the job.
