Because of a possible hack, the conservatives changed not only the timing, but also the voting procedure.
In the UK, the start of voting for candidates for the position of head of government was postponed for ten days due to the risk of hacker attacks. It was reported by The Telegraph newspaper.

According to the publication, the mail-in ballots, which were supposed to be sent to Conservative Party members on August 1, have not yet been received. Due to possible hacking, they can go to addressees until August 11.
It was noted that a warning about the hacker threat was published by the Center for Government Communications (GCHQ).
Against this background, the Conservatives changed not only the timing, but also the voting procedure – now party members cannot change their choice during the process, according to the media.
Finally, it was indicated that despite the changes, the name of the new prime minister will be announced, as planned, on 5 September.
It can be recalled that Foreign Minister Liz Truss and former Finance Minister Rishi Sunak are candidates for the position of head of government.
