Further to the Vice-Chancellor’s Notice dated 9 October 2020 (Reporter, 6591, 2020–21, p. 43), the Council has now considered the three proposed amendments to Grace 2 of 28 September 2020 and has agreed to submit them.
Separate ballots will be held on each of the amendments, in accordance with the Single Transferable Vote regulations (Statutes and Ordinances, 2019, p. 114). They will follow the timetable already published for the ballot on Grace 5 of 29 July 2020 (titles and structure of academic offices) (Reporter, 6590, 2020–21, p. 18), with voting opening at 10 a.m. on Friday, 20 November 2020 and closing at 5 p.m. on Tuesday, 1 December 2020. The deadline for fly-sheets has changed and is now 1 p.m. on Thursday, 5 November 2020 (see p. 69 below).
In a change to the timetable published on 7 October 2020 (Reporter, 6590, 2020–21, p. 18), the deadline for fly-sheets in the ballot on Grace 5 of 29 July 2020 is now 1 p.m. on Thursday, 5 November 2020. Those on the Roll promulgated on 6 November 20191 will therefore be eligible to sign those fly‑sheets (using the Regent House petitions site, see https://www.governance.cam.ac.uk/governance/key-bodies/RH-Senate/Pages/RH-Petitions.aspx).
The new Roll will be promulgated on 6 November 2020. Only those who are on the 2020 Roll will be eligible to vote in the ballots on Grace 5 of 29 July 2020 and on the amendments to Grace 2 of 28 September 2020 (p. 68 above).
