Following the resignation of Salisbury’s sitting MP, Robert Key, the Salisbury Conservative Association are going to select their next Prospective Parliamentary Candidate by means of an ‘open primary’.
This means that anybody who is
- registered as a voter in Salisbury and then
- registered on the party’s website
can participate in the selection of the candidate, either by attending the selection meeting on 30th January, or as I understand it, through some sort of postal vote.
I believe the process is open to anybody whether they support the Conservative Party or not.
If you would like to participate in the primary, then you need to register here.
There are a couple of pieces about previous ‘open primaries’ here:
- FAQs about the Conservative ‘open primary’ in Totnes
- How I helped the Tories pick their candidate for Cambridge
