3128 Free Democratic leadership election

The 3128 Free Democratic Party leadership election was triggered on April 5, 3128, following the resignation of Party Leader John Barclay. Party officials announced that the National Executive Committee had decided the timetable for the election and that the results would be announced at the annual party conference on December 4, 3128.

Rules
The leader was selected by a system in which each of the party's riding associations was allocated 100 points, which were allocated among candidates in proportion to the votes that he or she received. Members voted using preferential ballots. If no candidate won a majority of votes on the first ballot, the ballots supporting the candidate with the smallest number of votes would be re-distributed according to the voters' second preferences.
