But disgruntled party members say they are still being kept in the dark about their voting rights.
The ACT Liberals management wrote to members on Friday advising them that a divisional council meeting to consider overturning the result of the party's preselection ballot would be held on March 27.
The meeting was originally scheduled for March 15 but was postponed because the party failed to give members sufficient notice.
Party branches will also convene a fresh round of qualifying meetings in the next fortnight to allow members to secure their voting rights.
The ugly feud over the federal preselection has divided the Canberra Liberals since former opposition leader Zed Seselja toppled Senator Gary Humphries in a Senate preselection ballot last month.
The conflict centres on the right to vote, with many members alleging the process was manipulated to exclude supporters of Senator Humphries, who lost the ballot 84 votes to Mr Seselja's 114, with less than 30 per cent of the party's 640 participating. More than 280 members flocked to branch meetings last week to secure their eligibility for a second round preselection. The March 27 divisional council meeting will be held at 7pm at the Pavilion Hotel on Northbourne Avenue.
Former party president Gary Kent, the key figure behind a petition to have the preselection overturned, said the meeting would be a ''watershed moment in the history of the ACT Liberal Party''. ''I hope that members will be able to wrest back control of their party and take it away from the factions and vested interests by voting to hold a fair preselection process,'' Mr Kent said.
But some Canberra Liberals claim the party's ACT division office is still leaving them in the dark as to their voting status. Matthew Fleming, one of nearly 170 party members who attended a meeting of the southern electorate branch last week, said he had made several attempts to confirm his eligibility with the division this week.
Mr Fleming said he spoke to a staff member on Friday after trying for ''three days'' to contact the division, but his eligibility was no clearer.
''All she'd say was if you went to a meeting you should be all right,'' he said. ''She said she hadn't seen the updated database for all the meetings that were held in the last week. They're not willing to confirm to members that they're eligible or not."
Senator Humphries said he had been contacted by a number of party members who had been unable to confirm their voting status. ''I believe it's the right of every member to have information about their voting status in the party and I trust the division will be able to provide members with that information as quickly as possible.''
A party spokesman said ''the division always works hard to help and identify status and will continue to assist all members throughout this process as far as is possible.
''In this instance, the member only inquired of the receptionist, who does not have access to the database. The member had also only attended one of the most recent meetings. Status is updated as attendance sheets from meetings are forwarded to division, and if the meeting was very recent the updating may not be complete.''
