BC Liberal party members will be able to vote online and over the phone when they select a new leader in February.

The party has chosen a Nova Scotia company called Intelivote Systems to conduct the voting process.

Under the plan, party members will get secure information allowing them to vote either by phone or over Internet on Feb. 26th.

The party says it will also set up as many as 10 locations around the province where party members can take part in a constitutional convention Feb. 12 that will decide on changes in the way the new leader is elected.

Those changes include moving from a one-member, one-vote system to a model in which votes are tallied on a regional basis with the aim of giving equal representation to each riding.

Five people are running to replace Premier Gordon Campbell as Liberal leader -- Christy Clark, Kevin Falcon, George Abbott, Mike de Jong and Moira Stilwell.
