Alumni vote online for University Council

Court of Convocation elections for the selection of alumni to the University Council opened today, with electronic voting offered for the first time.

Alumni registered with the University will have received an email today, with a unique pin and password enabling them to log in to a secure website and register their votes.

Alumni Relations Manager Jasmine Groves says the electronic voting is an immediate and cost-effective way of enabling much wider participation in the election that takes place every four years.

“Our Alumni have the opportunity to determine the make-up of the University's Council for the next four years and play a role in shaping the governing body that will help move their university forward.

“We have already had a terrific response to the new voting initiative from our wider alumni community, which shows that our graduates have a sense of pride in helping shape the University for generations to come.”

Once users have logged into the voting site, they can view candidate profiles and register their votes.
Voting closes at midday on Friday October 29.

The University Council is Massey University’s governing body. Council members include lay, academic and student members and are responsible for overseeing the management and control of the affairs, concerns and property of the University. The council’s Chair, and ceremonial head of the University, is the Chancellor, elected by Council for a one-year term from within its ranks.
