The Primary method of selection was piloted in the 2001 - 2005
Parliament. Constituencies that selected using the Primary method
include Reading East and Warrington South.
See here for the latest on the Bedford Mayor elections. There is more speculation at http://conservativehome.blogs.com/goldlist/2009/08/want-to-be-the-candidate-for-bracknell-macclesfield-woking-apply-now.html
As I understand it, voting at the event will be by secret ballot, and it will be necessary for the successful applicant to achieve over 50% of the votes cast, excluding abstentions. Therefore, if this is not achieved in the first round the applicant with the fewest votes would be eliminated and the meeting would proceed to a further ballot until an overall majority for one applicant is achieved.
You do not have to be a member of the Conservative Party. To be eligible to attend and vote at this meeting you just need to pre-register. Full details will be available on the Bracknell Conservatives Website.
