SCOOP — 13 days out from the Liberals releasing the rules of their leadership contest, six hypothetical scenarios have already been put before executive council gaming out the race’s shape, pace and end date.
These scenarios, shared by the Leadership Vote Committee earlier this month, are “broadly illustrative” and “not exact” — but they sketch out a range of timelines, including a quick spring sprint and a contest stretching well into the fall.

SCOOP — 13 days out from the Liberals releasing the rules of their leadership contest, six hypothetical scenarios have already been put before executive council gaming out the race’s shape, pace and end date.
These scenarios, shared by the Leadership Vote Committee earlier this month, are “broadly illustrative” and “not exact” — but they sketch out a range of timelines, including a quick spring sprint and a contest stretching well into the fall.
A clue: The group, which conducted a membership survey in November, found no appetite for a vote in July, August, October or December. That matches the working theory among insiders: a race ending in early September or early November.
In every option considered, online voting would span two weeks, while in-person voting would be limited to two days.
The asterisk: “Only one potential example is being provided per month,” according to the group, adding that “dates in each of those months and some components can be adjusted.”
That said, here’s the list:
— In one scenario, in-person voting would take place in late September. The membership deadline would fall in mid-July, while candidate registration would close in late June or early July. Debates would run from April through September. The contest would have to begin by May 9 at the latest.
— If in-person voting took place in November, the sign-up deadline would be in late August. Candidates must register by mid-August. Debates would be held between April and November. The race would have to start by July 3.
With online voting expected, these are the likelier scenarios:
— A two-week vote would take place in mid-September. The membership deadline would land in mid-July, while candidate registration would close in late June or early July. Debates would run from April through September. The contest would have to begin by May 8 at the latest.
— In the last scenario, online voting would be held in mid-November. The membership deadline would land in early September, while candidate registration would close in mid or late-August. Debates would be held between April and November. July 3 would be the last possible start date for the contest.
Notable: A June contest — online or in-person — would have required a Jan. 30 start, making it a non-starter.
That said, all of it is hypothetical. “At this time, we’re exploring all avenues and scenarios when it comes to the leadership race to reflect membership feedback,” a party spokesperson said. “We will be excited to share all leadership details, including the dates, timelines and process by Feb. 9.”
