Simply Voting Inc., a leading provider of secure online voting solutions, proudly announces the successful completion of the Liberal Party of Canada's leadership election using its voting platform. Mark Carney was elected as the new leader of the Liberal Party and is now Canada’s Prime Minister following this highly anticipated race.

The election, which concluded on March 9, 2025, saw significant engagement, with 151,899 members securely casting their ranked ballots through Simply Voting’s platform, representing nearly 93% of verified members. With 85.9% of the vote, Carney defeated the former finance minister Chrystia Freeland, the former government house leader Karina Gould and the former member of parliament Frank Baylis. He also dominated in all 343 ridings, showing he has Liberal support across the country.

A Secure and Transparent Voting Process

The contest followed a ranked ballot system, ensuring that the winning candidate had broad support across the country rather than just securing the highest number of votes.

"The challenge was complex, requiring the seamless integration of Canada Post’s Identity+ service, the Liberal Party’s custom voter registration platform and our voting system, ensuring secure, real-time synchronization across all components,” said Brian Lack, President of Simply Voting.

Liberal Party officials praised the seamless experience of using Simply Voting’s system. “Simply Voting was a great partner in this process, their technology worked flawlessly and ensured a secure, fair, and robust Leadership race,” said Azam Ishmael, National Director of the Liberal Party of Canada.

The system allowed party members from across the country to participate securely, reinforcing confidence in the democratic process.
