The 1998 Progressive Conservative leadership election was held on October 24 and November 14,1998 to choose a successor to Jean Charest. This was the first time the Progressive Conservatives used a one member,one vote system to choose a leader rather than a delegated leadership convention,which has been the norm since 1927. The 1998 election used a point system that allocated 100 points to each riding,regardless of the number of votes cast in the riding. The candidate who won a majority of points would win the leadership. All party members were eligible to cast a vote. If no candidate received a majority of points on the first ballot,the lowest ranking candidate would be automatically eliminated and a second ballot was to be held using a preferential ballot if more than two candidates remained. The 100-point-per-riding system was again used by the Conservative Party of Canada in their leadership elections.
