The 2015 New Democratic Party of Newfoundland and Labrador leadership election was held March 7, 2015 in St. John's.[1] The election was prompted by Lorraine Michael's announcement on January 6, 2015, that she would step down as leader of the party after a successor was chosen.[3] All NDP members were able to cast ballots by phone or online between February 25 and March 5, 2015, or in person at the party's convention on March 7, 2015.[4] Earle McCurdy was elected with 68% support on the first ballot.[5]
