Ontario Liberals Adopt New One Member One Vote System for Leadership Selection Process
Ontario Liberals have transitioned from the old-fashioned delegated convention to a one-member one-vote system for selecting their leaders. The new system awards 100 points per riding, allocated based on the percentage of votes each candidate receives. The winner must secure 50% plus one of the total points available, including additional points from youth organizations. This shift aims to provide more direct voter input, though concerns about potential abuse exist.
