The NDP leadership is underway — and the party is limiting signatures from 'cis' men

Rules indicate that at least 50 per cent of the total required signatures must be from NDP members who do not identify as a cisgender man — meaning a male whose reported gender corresponds to their reported sex at birth.
The party also requires a minimum of 100 signatures be from “equity-seeking groups” such as racialized members, Indigenous members, members of the LGBTQ+ community and persons living with disabilities.

The party did not immediately respond when asked how officials would reasonably verify if members identified as cisgender men or as being part of “equity-seeking groups.”

Finally, at least 10 per cent of the signatures must come from young New Democrats.https://nationalpost.com/news/the-ndp-leadership-is-underway-and-the-party-is-limiting-signatures-from-cis-men?itm_source=index
