Electoral system

The method for electing positions is determined by Standing Order D4 of the Rules, Standing Orders, and Special Schedules of the Oxford Union Society. 11 positions were elected for Secretary's Committee, 6 positions were elected for Standing Committee (5 until Trinity Term 2022), and 1 position was elected for each of the Officer positions. For the Officer positions, the option to "re-open nominations" is available for voters alongside validly nominated candidates. The election uses a form of single transferable vote for all positions, with a randomised ballot order.

Counts work as follows:

  1. The quota is calculated using the following formula, where v is the number of valid votes and s is the number of positions to be filled, rounded down to 2 decimal places: v/s + 1 + 0.01
  2. Each ballot paper is given a value of 1, and first preferences are distributed
  3. If one or more candidates are over quota, the candidate with the most votes is declared elected (only 1 candidate may be elected in each round) and their surplus is redistributed (see below)
  4. If no candidates meet quota, the candidate with the lowest number of votes is eliminated and their votes are redistributed (see below)
  5. If no candidates meet quota, but the elimination of a candidate would lead to the number of remaining candidates plus elected candidates being equal to the number of positions to be filled (for example, if 3 candidates are left for Standing Committee (none meeting quota), and 4 other candidates have already been declared elected), then all candidates save the one with the lowest number of votes are declared elected

Transferring:

  1. If a candidate is over quota, the surplus is calculated using the following formula: Votes received by the Elected Candidate - Quota
  2. Each ballot is then transferred at the value given by the following formula, rounded down to 3 decimal places: Current vote value × Surplus/Total value of votes received by the candidate
  3. If a candidate is eliminated, their votes are redistributed at their current value

Important note

The "party" parameter in these templates is used for colleges - unfortunately, no method exists to change it to college. Names are as listed on ballot papers.

Trinity Term 2022

The Returning Officer for this election was Christopher Collins (Corpus Christi College).
