The Saskatchewan Party held a leadership election on January 27, 2018,[1] to elect a replacement for party leader and Premier Brad Wall. Wall had announced on August 10, 2017 that he would be retiring from politics once his successor was chosen.[2] The winner, Scott Moe, succeeded Wall as Premier of Saskatchewan on February 2, 2018.
The leadership election was conducted by a one member-one vote preferential ballot system with voters able to either mail-in ballots or vote in person.[3] Candidates had a $250,000 campaign expense limit and were required to disclose the names of contributors who donate $250 or more. The deadline for membership sales for those wanting to vote was on December 8, 2017.[1] Patrick Bundrock is the Chief Electoral Officer.[4]
