Conservative Party of Canada leadership elections

Conservative Party of Canada leadership elections, or leadership conventions, are the process in which the Conservative Party of Canada elects its leader. The most recent leadership election was held in 2017.

Since 2004, the party has elected its leaders on a one member, one vote basis using a ranked ballot. The process is weighted so that each riding is allocated 100 points, divided proportionately among candidates based on their percentage of the vote in that riding.[1] This process was first used in the 1998 Progressive Conservative leadership election, a predecessor party of the modern Conservative Party.
