The PC's need 50 per cent, plus one to approve merging with the Wildrose Party in the vote with goes Thursday, July 20 to Saturday, July 22.

PC Alberta Executive Director Janice Harrington says once you've got you're membership, you then need to register to vote.

"And that's just another process for securing and ensuring the integrity of the vote. When you go through a leadership process of course there are lots of membership lists that tend to be out there. So the registration process just ensures that the people who are entering their information are really who they say they are."

Memberships are available until midnight on Wednesday, July 12, at pcalberta.org.

All the voting will be done either online or on your phone.
