Election of student members of Faculty Boards and other bodies

1. These regulations shall apply to each Faculty Board or other University body whose membership includes student members, except in so far as may be provided otherwise in the special regulations for a particular Faculty Board or other body.

2. A Faculty Board or other University body shall adopt for the election of its student members one of the schemes listed in Schedule IV below. A body which intends to hold an election of student members for the first time shall notify the Registrary not later than 1 October in the academical year in which the election is to be held. A body may subsequently alter its choice of scheme, provided that it notifies the Registrary not later than 1 October in the academical year in which the change is to take effect.

3. If the scheme adopted provides for the electors to be divided into categories according to their course of study or their year of study, the Registrary shall be notified accordingly.

4. For each Faculty Board or other body to which these regulations apply an election of student members shall be held in each academical year on a day in Full Term not earlier than 20 October and not later than the last day of Full Lent Term. The persons eligible to vote and to stand as candidates shall be those persons who are certified by the Registrary to be students in the Faculty concerned or, in an election of members of a body other than a Faculty Board, those persons whose course of study or research is similarly certified by the Registrary to be in a subject falling within the scope of the body concerned. Voting shall be by ballot. The date and procedure of the election, the final date for the receipt of nominations, and the hours of voting shall be determined by the Faculty Board or other body concerned; provided that the final date for the receipt of nominations shall not be later than the seventh day of Full Term before the day appointed for the election.

5. The returning officer shall be the Chair of the body concerned or a member of the Regent House appointed by the body.

6. Not later than the fourteenth day of Full Term before the day appointed for the election, the returning officer shall give public notice of the date and place appointed for the election, the hours of voting, and the final date for the receipt of nominations.

7. Nominations shall be in writing. Each nomination shall be signed by two persons proposing and seconding the nomination and shall be accompanied by a statement signed by the candidate, consenting to be nominated.

8. Not later than the eighteenth day after the beginning of the Full Michaelmas Term, the Registrary shall send to the returning officer for each body to which these regulations apply, save those listed in Schedule V, an electoral roll of all the persons who on the fourteenth day after the beginning of the Full Michaelmas Term were eligible, under the provisions of Regulation 1 of the General Regulations for the Constitution of the Faculty Boards and of these regulations, to vote and to stand as candidates in the election. For those bodies listed in Schedule V, the Registrary shall send to the returning officer, not later than 12 November, an electoral roll of all the persons who on 8 November were eligible, under the provisions of Regulation 1 of the General Regulations for the Constitution of the Faculty Boards and of these regulations, to vote and to stand as candidates in the election. The roll shall be undivided, or divided into sections corresponding to categories determined in accordance with Regulation 3. The returning officer shall make the roll public forthwith and voting shall not commence earlier than the second day after the roll is published. The Registrary shall have power, on the recommendation of the returning officer, to amend the roll at any time before the time fixed for the start of voting. The nomination of any candidate whose name, or the name of whose proposer or seconder, is not included in the roll (or, if the roll is divided into categories, in the section of the roll for the category for which the candidate has been nominated), or in the roll (or the appropriate section of the roll) as amended by the Registrary, shall be declared by the returning officer to be invalid.

9. If at any election of a student member or members the total number of vacancies is not filled, the Faculty Board or other body may fix a date for the holding of a further election to fill such vacancies as are unfilled. Unless the body concerned determines otherwise, the persons eligible to vote and to stand as candidates in such an election shall be those persons who were so eligible in the preceding election; provided that no such person may vote or be a candidate in a further election if the Registrary certifies that he or she is no longer entitled to be included in the relevant electoral roll.

10. If a casual vacancy occurs, the body concerned shall determine whether a bye-election shall be held to fill the vacancy and shall determine the date on which any such election is to be held. Unless the body concerned determines otherwise, the persons eligible to vote and to stand as candidates in a bye-election shall be those persons who were eligible at the time of the last preceding annual election to vote and to stand as candidates in the election to the place which has been vacated, provided that no such person may vote or be a candidate in a bye-election if the Registrary certifies that he or she is no longer entitled to be included in the relevant electoral roll.

11. The General Board, after consulting the Council, shall from time to time make rules in accordance with which:

  1. (a)the Registrary shall certify persons as students in a Faculty for the purpose of Regulation 1 of the General Regulations for the Constitution of the Faculty Boards, and as persons entitled to be included in the electoral roll for the purpose of an election to any body other than a Faculty Board; and
  2. (b)the terms graduate student and undergraduate shall be defined for the purpose of the schemes listed in Schedule IV to these regulations.

Subject to such rules, any question of interpretation of these regulations shall be decided by the Registrary, whose decision shall be final.

12. If the number of eligible persons nominated does not exceed the number of vacancies, the person or persons nominated shall be deemed to be elected.
