Milobar, Iain Black, Caroline Elliott, Kerry-Lynne Findlay and Yuri Fulmer squared off in a 90-minute debate over the weekend.

Ballots are now being sent out to more than 42-thousand party members.

Former leader John Rustad resigned in early December and Trevor Halford has been acting leader since that time.

The winner will be announced on May 30th.
