Ontarians are a week away from learning who the new leader of the Ontario Liberal Party will be.
After an eight-month-long heated campaign with five debates, card-carrying members of the party will finally be able to cast their vote this weekend for the person they hope will be able to defeat Premier Doug Ford in the next election.
A historic 100,000 people are registered to take part in the vote, an all-time high for the party.
“It’s a race,” Interim Ontario Liberal Leader John Fraser told reporters this week, hinting that while some may think there is a front-runner, they still “got to turn out the vote.”
“I think it’s anybody’s guess,” he said. “We've had momentum since the last election. If you look inside the numbers, you can see things that are changing.”
Members can vote anytime between 2 p.m. and 7 p.m. on Saturday and Sunday at polling stations across the province. A full list of polling stations can be found on the Ontario Liberal Party’s website.
There will be no online voting.
