An email with further instructions will be sent to eligible voters on Tuesday, 10 November, using the email addresses provided in the electronic register of Congregation (n.b. with few exceptions, notably clinical staff, this will be the work address ending “ox.ac.uk”). The email from CES Votes will contain links to the candidates’ statements and a unique link to the voting website: when voters click on the link, they will be taken to the voting website where they can cast their vote. Candidates' statements will also be published in the Gazette dated 12 November. Voters may wish to read these statements before completing their electronic vote.

If the number of nominations received by the closing date is less than sufficient to fill the vacancies, those candidates nominated will be deemed elected unopposed, and the remaining vacancies will lapse, in which case, in accordance with the regulations, the places must remain vacant until appointments are made jointly by the Vice-Chancellor and Proctors.
