For reference, that $35,000 is $5,000 higher than Liberal fee that led to Susan Holt's win in a four-horse race including Donald Arseneault, Robert Gauvin, and T.J. Harvey.

To vote? The rules say party members must pay a $40 registration fee to become an elector. A non-member must purchase a two-year membership and pay the registration fee for a combined $50.

The Liberal leadership convention had no fees to vote, and no fee to registered Liberals who wanted to attend the convention.

It's also one vote, preferential ballot. That sadly removes all the fun that was the 2016 convention with all the scramble for endorsements re: Monica Barley and Jake Stewart. That was one hell of a day. #NB

Was asked if interim leader Glen Savioe can run... The answer is yes, if he resigns by July 1, according to the rules.
