The United Conservative Party (UCP) has launched a livestream of its verification centre, where volunteers are counting mail-in ballots for Jason Kenney’s leadership review.

Ballots for the review were due on Wednesday afternoon, and the UCP made the decision to livestream the tally in an effort to be transparent.

The UCP says this process is being overseen by Deloitte Canada, and constituency associations presidents, secretaries, and CFO’s who are acting as scrutineers on behalf of the membership.

From May 12 through to May 17, party workers and employees will open up each mail-in ballot to check if the ID on the ballot matches up with a registered UCP member.

Results of the leadership review are expected to be revealed Wednesday May 18.
