To get on the ballot paper
a candidate will need:
22 MPs or MEPs
10%+ of current total
plus 33 constituency Labour parties
5%+ of the current CLPs
or three affiliated unions
Representing at least 5% of affiliated members
Voting is equal – one-person, one-vote – for Labour party members, members of the 12 Labour-affiliated trade unions and people who pay a one-off fee to register and vote
When the ballots have been counted:
The candidate with fewest votes is eliminated
Their votes go to their supporters’ second- choice candidate ...
And so on, until one candidate gains 50% of the vote
