Following the recent resignation of our Prime Minister, a leadership contest will be held to elect the next Leader of the Conservative Party.
Nominations to stand for election will close at 2pm on Monday 24th October. The Parliamentary Party will then vote to decide the final two candidates who will participate in the online member ballot.
If you continue to remain a paying member of the Party, you will be entitled to vote in the contest as long as you have been a member for 3 months.
The member ballot is due to open Tuesday 25th October and close Friday 28th October at 11am.
Due to the tight deadlines, this will be a fully online ballot - instructions detailing how to vote will be emailed to all members when the ballot opens.
You will not require a membership card or certificate to vote.
Yours sincerely,
Sean Duckworth
Head of Membership
