For the first time, the next UK prime minister will be selected by online voters, as well as those sending paper ballots. The 160,000 Conservative party members who have a vote were offered the choice of filling in their postal ballots and returning them, or of voting online instead, using a code contained on the form.

Online voting is regularly criticised by security experts because of the lack of any physical paper trail. In contrast to in-person electronic voting, where voters can be issued with a receipt to demonstrate how their vote was recorded and where paper records can be checked after the fact, a purely online vote leaves no record other than the electronic database of how many votes were recorded for each candidate.
