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 the division of the Michaelmas Term 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.

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.
