The provincial executive of British Columbia's Liberal Party has agreed to change its leadership voting process to give every member and region a say in replacing Premier Gordon Campbell.
Party president Mickey Patryluk says the executive has taken a major step in modernizing the process -- 17 years after Campbell was elected as new leader.
The proposed process calls for a preferential ballot system to give every party member a chance to cast a vote and weighing the results through a point system.
The first leadership contestant to get more than 50 per cent of the points allocated on any provincewide count would be selected as the leader.
The new voting process will be ratified at an extraordinary convention on Feb. 12, but the executive has yet to set a date for the leadership vote.
Campbell announced his resignation more than a week ago, but said he'd stay on until a new leader is chosen.
