Invalid Election

An SRC election to fill a vacancy on the University Council was declared invalid last week.

At the election, held on 2 June, a number of people are believed to have voted more than once.

Candidates in the election were J.D. Barnett, Colin Knox and Denis Phelps. Provisional voting figures were: Barnett-52 votes; Knox-58 votes; and Phelps-57 votes.

A further election for the vacancy on the Council—which arose at the end of the term of office of current representative Denis Phelps was held on Monday. The result of that election were not known when this issue of Salient was sent to the printers. The three candidates for the vacancy who stood in the 2 June-election were all believed to have indicated their willingness to stand for election again.
