Sir Keir Starmer, Lisa Nandy and Rebecca Long-Bailey are all on the final ballot to become the next Labour leader, after obtaining enough support from unions and affiliated groups.
The party is also choosing a new deputy leader, following Tom Watson's resignation in December.
Voting will close on 2 April, with the results announced at a special conference two days later.
Among those taking part will be 114,000 new members who have joined since December's election, where Labour won its lowest number of seats since 1935.
Members of affiliated trades unions and groups can also vote, as well as around 14,700 "registered supporters" who have paid £25 to take part on a one-off basis.
