Under the party 's constitution, the leadership election was to be held by April 10, 2017 ; however, the delegates present passed a motion to give the party up to 24 months to organize a leadership election. Mulcair is expected to remain leader until his successor is elected.

In the months since the 2015 federal election, Mulcair 's leadership had been a point of conflict within the party because of the election campaign, in which the NDP fell to third place from the Official Opposition status it gained in the 2011 election. The New Democrats had led public opinion polls since May 2015 and appeared to be poised to win their first federal election in history. However, they fell back behind the Liberals and Conservatives in the last month. The election thus resulted in a Liberal majority government. The party lost more than half of its seats and fell to third place. Mulcair 's leadership faced criticism following the election, particularly due to his moderate platform that the party was running on. In contrast, Liberal leader Justin Trudeau had promised to run a budget deficit in order to fund stimulus programs and higher social spending, a position which was perceived as allowing the Liberals to outflank the NDP. Election rules Under rules set out in the party 's constitution, every member is entitled to cast a secret ballot for the selection of the Leader. The new leader will be chosen some time between October 1 and October 15, 2017, with rounds of voting through a preferential, ranked choice ballot taking place once a week until a candidate hits the 50 per cent plus one mark to be declared leader ( with eligible voters choosing to vote with an internet ballot being allowed to change their vote at any time before the closure of the polls, including between each round of balloting ). Candidates are required to pay an entry fee of $30,000 and may spend no more than $1.5 million. 25 % of all donations to candidates will be paid to the party. To be nominated, candidates require at least 500 signatures from party members, at least half of which must be from female - identified members and at least 100 from `` other equity - seeking groups '' including indigenous people, LGBT people, persons with disabilities and visible minorities. At least 50 signatures will be required from each of five regions : `` Atlantic '', `` Quebec '', `` Ontario '', `` the Prairies '' and `` B.C. and the North ''. Timeline Date Event October 19, 2015 In the 2015 general election, the NDP under Tom Mulcair wins 44 seats and falls to third place in the House of Commons, down from the 95 seats and Official Opposition status held prior to the election. April 10, 2016 At the NDP convention in Edmonton, a leadership review resolution passes with the support of 52 % of delegates, requiring a new leadership election to be held. Mulcair announces that he will not be a candidate, but will remain as leader until his successor is chosen. Delegates pass an emergency motion extending the deadline for a leadership election to two years from one year. May 15, 2016 NDP Federal Council meets to discuss a schedule and logistics for the leadership election. The federal council decides to hold the election between September 17, 2017 and October 31, 2017, with a precise date to be set later.

He claimed it was because of his policy to cut immigration, while the party says it was on the grounds that he does not support party policy as well as due to a 1993 charge for watching and besetting which resulted in a conditional discharge. Graff took the NDP to court in March through a `` judicial review '' on the grounds that the party had violated natural justice, and this resulted in a settlement allowing him to apply a second time. After the party 's second rejection, Graff returned to court with a second judicial review in an attempt to require the NDP to permit him to run. The party argued it was not subject to judicial review. On June 9, 2017, the court ruled that the NDP and other political parties are subject to judicial review, but that the party 's actions were not unreasonable in rejecting Graff 's application to stand for leader.
