The Liberal Party of Canada has announced that it will elect its next leader and the country's next prime minister on March 9. Voting eligibility has also been changed.

The Liberal Party of Canada will elect a new leader on March 9, the party said in a statement. The party said it will fight hard for victory in the 2025 election. The date was announced by the party's national council after several meetings. The entry fee for potential candidates has been set at 350,000 Canadian dollars, up from 75,000 Canadian dollars. Candidates must declare their intention to run by January 23 and pay the fee. Voter registration will be open until January 27, Reuters reports. Voting eligibility has been limited to Canadian citizens and permanent residents aged 14 and over. The move is part of addressing concerns about foreign interference.
