Interested candidates have until Friday to apply
Progressive Conservatives in Cambridge, Ont., will finally be able to elect their candidate for this years provincial election.
The bid for the nomination and voting is set to take place on March 24, at St. Benedict High School starting at noon.
The riding has been a source of controversy since last September when the party's executive changed the original nomination meeting from a date in November to October.
That forced people interested in running to submit paperwork sooner than initially expected.
Since then there have been rumours of PC leadership hopeful Christine Elliot considering a run for the membership. A Calgary dentist also decided to run but has told CBC Kitchener-Waterloo she decided not to seek the nomination.

Anyone interested in running for the nomination or joining the party to vote has until Friday March 9, to complete the paperwork.
The nomination will be conducted using a preferential ballot.
The new Cambridge riding includes North Dumfries, the Preston & Galt sections of Cambridge, and a part of northern Brant County.
