The 1987 founding Convention of the Reform Party Of Canada elected Preston Manning as party Leader by Acclamation . Manning was re-ratified as leader at every subsequent convention of the party without opposition. The Reform Party became the " Canadian Reform Conservative Alliance " (better known as the "Canadian Alliance") in 2000 and had its first contested leadership election. Canadian Alliance leadership votes were conducted via a pure One Member, One Vote system in which each party member cast a ballot with equal weight. In the CA's system, the leader was the candidate who received 50% plus one of all votes cast (i.e., an Absolute Majority ). If no candidate had an absolute majority on the first ballot, the top two candidates participated in a Run-off election several weeks after the first ballot. 2000 LEADERSHIP ELECTION First Ballot -- June 24, 2000 Second Ballot -- July 8, 2000 2002 LEADERSHIP ELECTION March 20, 2002 First Ballot SEE ALSO
