Some of the data reported by Cross (Reference Cross2016) on page 615 of the original article were incorrect. The correct data are as follows: 62 per cent of associations with a woman president had a woman contest the nomination compared to 49 per cent with a man as president.

In associations with a male dominated executive, 49 per cent had a woman contest the nomination compared to 57 per cent with gender balance on the executive.

Finally, the presence of a local search committee increases the likelihood of a woman contesting the nomination by 10 per cent.

The corrections, which have no effect on the conclusions drawn, result from a combination of coding error and additional information becoming available from Elections Canada.

The author regrets the error.
