With Premier Brian Pallister announcing that he's not seeking re-election, Manitoba's Progressive Conservative Party will have to choose a new leader and premier. The PCs will make their decision in October.  

The party says voting will be conducted by mail and the ballots will be counted in Winnipeg on October 30th.

The new leader and premier will be chosen through a one-member, one-vote election. There will not be any delegates to determine the result. 

PC members who want to succeed Brian Pallister as premier have to pay $25,000 to enter the race, sign up by September 15th and sign up at least 1,000 members by September 30th.

Tuxedo MLA Heather Stefanson is the only candidate to declare a run for leader of the Progressive Conservative party. 

Former Conservative MP Shelly Glover said she will meet with family, friends, and supporters to discuss whether she will run.
