The next leader of the Conservative Party of Canada will be named Sept. 10. Here's a look at how the voting process will work:They are expected to receive their ballots in the mail sometime in late July or August and the due date for when they must be returned will likely fall in early September, as the new leader will be named at a convention centre in downtown Ottawa on Sept. 10.
What that means is members will rank their choice for leader from one to six, as there are that many candidates in the race. Voting will continue in rounds until a candidate receives more than 50 per cent of the points, which is why those running not only want to be the first choice of members, but also listed as their second and third choices.The party's membership base is split into 338 electoral districts in the same way the country is divided into federal ridings.
