The Conservative Party of Canada elects its leaders through a process known as a leadership election. The most recent leadership election was held in 2022.
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.
