"The provincial Liberal executive released rules for their contest earlier this week and the party will select its next leader on Nov. 21. The party will use a one-member one-vote, ranked ballot system to elect the winner. Twelve days of online voting will take place ahead of the leadership convention, a first for the party."
"'This an opportunity to build and to grow the party, and to say to people, come on in, be part of the change.' The Ontario Liberals have been in the political wilderness since their defeat in the 2018 election, which saw them reduced to 10 seats and lose official party status. That demotion meant the party did not have access to taxpayer funding afforded to officially recognized parties in the Ontario legislature to hire staff and pay for research."
Ontario Liberals will hold a leadership election on Nov. 21 using a one-member one-vote ranked ballot and twelve days of online voting ahead of the convention. The interim leader said the party must spend nine months rebuilding after three consecutive electoral defeats. The party lost official status after the 2018 election, reducing seats to ten and cutting access to taxpayer funding, staff and research resources, which weakened provincial infrastructure. This will be the third leadership contest since 2020 following Bonnie Crombie's resignation after a critical campaign debrief that faulted strategy in the 2025 election.
