Members of the Regent House are now able to vote online.

The default method of voting in ballots of the Regent House is now online, having come into effect on 1 January, 2015.
Regents should also note that voting closes today (2 March, 2015) at 5pm to elect a member of the Council - the first online ballot of the Regent House.
Members of the Regent House who wish to use the online voting system do not need to take any further action, although they may wish to check that they know their CRSid (username) and Raven password.
Regents can opt out of the online system and register to continue voting by postal ballot by early November each year. They will be opted out for one year, until the following promulgation of the Roll of the Regent House in November, and can renew the opt-out request each year. Members who opted out by 12 December 2014 will have received voting papers and supporting materials in the post for the current ballot, and for any other ballots taking place before November 2015.
Ballots are votes on matters for decision by the Regent House, the governing body of the University. Recent ballots have concerned important strategic issues for the University, such as undergraduate fees and access, the introduction of an employer justified retirement age, and the go-ahead for phase one of the North-West Cambridge Development.
In addition to notices of ballots being announced in the Reporter, members of the Regent House will also be notified of them by email, with the weblink for voting being made available immediately before the email notification is sent out.
The online process will start at the same time as voting papers are distributed in hard copy. Flysheets and other election materials will be accessible via the web interface at which online votes will be cast.
The governance website provides information on online voting – including how to check eligibility to vote, how to opt out of online voting and information about ballots and access to voting. To view this website, click on 'Governance website' in the Further Links section.
