2018 Saskatchewan Party leadership election


The 2018 Saskatchewan Party leadership election was held on January 27, 2018, due to the announcement on August 10, 2017, by Premier Brad Wall that he would be retiring from politics once his successor was chosen. 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. 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. Patrick Bundrock is the Chief Electoral Officer.
