Here S How Voting Works In The Conservative Party Of Canada Leadership Race

Postal ballots: The party says that of the 678,000 members eligible to vote in the contest, just over 350,000 have sent in their ballots with a week to go before the September 6 deadline. Before ballots can be counted, they must be processed as valid, which the party does at a headquarters in downtown Ottawa. The final results will be presented at a conference on September 10. The protocols surrounding the vote were set by a committee of Conservatives appointed to create the rules for the leadership race. Ranking options: Unlike a general election, when voters can only make one choice, the Conservative Party chooses its new leader through a ranked ballot system. This means that members will rank their choice for leader from first to last. There were originally six candidates in the race before Patrick Brown was expelled from the party, so all six names will appear on the ballot. The Conservatives have not said how they will deal with any potential votes for Brown. The winner is chosen when a candidate receives more than 50 percent of the points. If this does not happen during the first counting of the ballots, the candidate receiving the lowest number of points will be disqualified. When a candidate is eliminated, the ballots that had them at the top will be counted from their second choice — meaning that whichever candidate is listed will receive the vote when the ballots are counted a second time. Voting will continue in rounds until a candidate receives more than 50 percent of the points, making the second and third choices important. Points: The party’s membership base is divided into 338 constituencies in the same way that the country is divided into federal groups. Points are assigned to each of these areas. A recent change to the way Conservative Party leadership races are run stipulates that in order for a riding to receive 100 points, which is the maximum, it must have at least 100 members. Candidates are encouraged to sell party memberships to supporters who live in low membership areas. Party rules indicate that candidates receive a set of points based on their share of the vote in each riding. This report by The Canadian Press was first published on August 30, 2022.
