An election will be held in 2019 to determine the successor to Bill Shorten as Leader of the Labor Party and Leader of the Opposition. Shorten announced his pending resignation on 18 May, following Labor's defeat in the 2019 federal election.[1][2]
Process
Under party rules implemented by former Prime Minister Kevin Rudd after the June 2013 leadership spill, candidates have one week to nominate after the formal declaration of the contest and receive the support of 20% of the federal Labor caucus to be eligible for nomination, if the election is held as a result of a vacancy.[3] After the declaration of nominations, ballot papers are issued to party members who have two weeks to return them, by which time Labor MPs and Senators cast their votes for the contested leadership positions. According to the party's rules the two voting blocs are weighted equally, with the parliamentary caucus and the party members each representing 50%.[4]
