Conservative leadership candidates have until midnight to secure party memberships for their supporters to vote in the election to replace Erin O’Toole
Candidates have until midnight to secure party memberships for their supporters to vote in the election for the next Conservative leader, who will replace Erin O’Toole.The party’s leadership election organizing committee said late last month it had already broken records for how many new members candidates have drawn in ahead of the June 3 cut-off.
Leadership candidates have spent the last several months encouraging potential voters to sign up to vote. In the final days before the deadline, they’ve been frantically trying to get as many supporters into the voting pool as possible. Patrick Brown told supporters Thursday he had already met his membership goals, but still urged people on his mailing list to make sure their friends and family were signed up to vote.
Once they’ve signed up all the supporters they can to the party, and those memberships have been processed and verified, the camps will turn their attention to getting out the vote and attempt to persuade their opponents’ supporters to switch allegiances – or at least put their name second on the ballot.
