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 During the early campaign, Toronto Drag Queen Enza Anderson also declared her candidacy for the leadership, although she dropped her bid before the official registration deadline.
