The ballot will be conducted by an external provider, Electoral Reform Services (ERS), on behalf of the University, and will employ the Single Transferable Vote system of voting (as per Ordinance C1).

ERS will email you voting instructions on Monday 13 May if you are eligible to vote in the election within your School.

You are eligible to vote if you are a member of academic or research staff on an open-ended contract (full- or part-time, and based at any campus). You can only vote for candidates within your School.

Please contact John McDermott if you are eligible to participate in the election, but have not received a direct email from ERS by Tuesday 14 May (please remember to check your ‘junk’ email folder).

NB Voting will close on Tuesday 28 May 2019 (4.00 pm UK time) so please vote before then.

Ordinance C1 governs these elections, which are run under the auspices of the Secretary of the University.

Please contact John McDermott (Clerk to the Senate) with any queries on the election.
