The 2018 Saskatchewan Party leadership election was held on January 27, 2018,[1] due to the announcement on August 10, 2017, by Premier Brad Wall that he would be retiring from politics once his successor was chosen.[2] The winner, Scott Moe, succeeded Wall as Premier of Saskatchewan on February 2, 2018.

The leadership election was conducted by a one member-one vote preferential ballot system with voters able to either mail-in ballots or vote in person.[3] Candidates had a $250,000 campaign expense limit and were required to disclose the names of contributors who donate $250 or more. The deadline for membership sales for those wanting to vote was on December 8, 2017.[1] Patrick Bundrock is the Chief Electoral Officer.[4]
