2024 Alberta New Democratic Party leadership election

An Alberta New Democratic Party leadership election was held on June 22, 2024, due to leader Rachel Notley's announcement on January 16, 2024, that she would be resigning as leader of the New Democratic Party of Alberta, after a decade in the position, as soon as her successor is chosen. Notley served as Premier of Alberta from 2015 to 2019 and was Leader of the Opposition at the time of her announcement, which was made almost eight months after the NDP lost the May 2023 Alberta general election.[2]

Rules

edit

Unlike the 2014 Alberta New Democratic Party leadership election in which a weighted voting system was used giving unions and affiliated organizations up to 20 per cent of the vote,[4] the 2024 election allocated 100 per cent of the vote to individual party members. Ranked ballots were used; as well as the Instant-runoff voting system to determine the winner. Voting was conducted online, by telephone, and by mail.[5]

To qualify to be on the ballot a candidate must: be approved by the Leadership Race Approvals Committee, complete a registration and disclosure form along with a $1,500 research fee, submit three separate registrations fees by their respective deadlines (see Timeline), and submit the signatures of a minimum of 50 nominators who are members in good standing. Candidates must secure 10 nominations from residents in each of the following regions: Edmonton constituencies, Northern Alberta constituencies, Central Alberta constituencies, Calgary constituencies, and Southern Alberta constituencies. At least one nominator from each region must self-identify as a woman, and at least one must must self-identify as equity seeking. At least 25 nominators overall must identify as women, and at least 20 nominators overall must identify as members belonging to equity seeking groups which include persons of colour, Indigenous, living with a disability, youth, and 2SLGBTQ+.[5]
