Five candidates made it onto the ballot: Saied Anwar, Alina Droste, [[Sarah Millard]], [[Marcel Nystrom]], and [[Oscar Yakobo]]. To qualify, a candidate needed to pay an entrance fee of $15,000. Anyone with a valid party membership purchased before 9 January 2015 was eligible to vote in the election. Secret votes were cast by the members using a {{wp|Instant-runoff voting|preferential ranked ballot}} to determine the winner. In total, 139,651 votes were cast, representing a turnout of 48.2%.  
94,211 ballots were cast online between 24 June and 1 July. With 124,802 registered party members by the deadline of 1 June, the total turnout was 75.5%. Votes were cast using a {{wp|One_member,_one_vote}} {{wp|Instant-runoff_voting|preferential ranked ballot}}.

Leite had the lead on the first ballot with 23,358 votes followed by Ross in second place with 22,500 votes. Leite held her lead until the 6th ballot where Ross overtook her. Finally, Leite regained the lead on the final ballot with 43,775 votes, less than a thousand votes more than Ross' 42,830 votes.


Sarah Millard was elected on the second ballot with 51.3% of the vote, becoming the second-youngest leader of the SDP at 33 years old. Millard would lead the SDP to victory in the [[2016 Scalizagastian federal election]] in their greatest performance in over a decade, forming a coalition government with the [[Green Party of Scalizagasti|Greens]] and two other parties.
In total, ten candidates ran for party leader: member of parliament [[Elene Leite]], member of parliament and former minister of justice [[Yanis Ross]], former governor of Lamanges [[Michael Huang]], member of parliament [[Sinclair Order]], [[Haroldston]] lawyer [[Sarah Mulyadi]], former party president [[Farhad Mobasseri]], business owner [[Tomás de Sousa]], Ecologist Party co-founder [[Jason Chosfarle]], Desitch city councillor [[Jason Bohr]], and author [[Linda Varlow]].
 
The race was noteworthy for the animosity between the competing left-wing and right-wing of the party. Eco-socialists and green moderates wrestled for control of the leadership after Smith's ousting left a power vacuum. In the end, the "green pragmatist" faction led by Leite was able to defeat the eco-socialist faction under Ross.
