Electronic voting in ballots of the Regent House

Members of the Regent House are reminded that electronic voting will be introduced in ballots of the Regent House from 6 November 2013 (see Reporter, 6295, 2012–13, p. 339). A website has been launched to provide information about the implementation of online voting and is available at http://www.ballots.admin.cam.ac.uk/. The website will also be a source of information about future ballots of the Regent House and give access to online voting in those ballots.

From 6 November 2013, online voting will be the default method of voting in ballots of the Regent House. Members will need their CRSid and a Raven password in order to participate in online voting. Regents who wish to continue voting by postal ballot will need to opt out of online voting by 5 p.m. on Tuesday, 5 November 2013. They can do so by filling in a form on the ballots website or by emailing their name, CRSid, and the University or College address to which voting papers should be sent, from a Cambridge email account, to ballots@admin.cam.ac.uk. Requests to receive hard-copy voting papers will take effect for one year from the promulgation of the Roll on 6 November 2013 and will need to be renewed each year. Enquiries about opting out or any other aspect of online voting may be addressed to ballots@admin.cam.ac.uk.

Chair of the Septemviri

The Registrary, in his capacity as Clerk to the Septemviri, gives notice that Lord Irvine of Lairg, CHR, has resigned as Chair of the Septemviri. A Grace proposing a new appointment will be submitted to the Regent House once a new Chair has been identified.
