OTTAWA – The Conservative Party of Canada uses a points system to determine the winner of its leadership race, with each riding in the country allocated 100 points.
A candidate needs a majority of 16,901 points to win.
The party also uses a ranked ballot. If no candidate receives that majority after the first count, the candidate with the lowest number of points drops off and his or her supporters’ second choices are tallied.

Peter MacKay: 11,328
Erin O’Toole: 10,681
