Note
A recount has bee requested for Wom*n’s Committee, and will be conducted later this week. All tickets will be notified of the time and location of the recount.
The result for Welfare Committee, although unchanged from that notified to scrutineers last Saturday, was considerably closer than was realised at that time, and the Returning Officer would favorably consider any request for a recount of it.
Recounts and Appeals
Any requests for recounts must be made within three working days of this notice, that is, by close of business on Friday 18 September. Requests must be in writing and should be made to the Returning Officer c/o Union House, or by email to ReturningOfficer@union.unimelb.edu.au.
Appeals against the election results must be made within three working days of this notice, or, if a recount is conducted, within three working days of the recount. Appeals must be in writing and addressed to the Electoral Tribunal. Any appeals lodged with the Returning Officer will be forwarded to the Tribunal.
Details of the count are available on request from the Returning Officer, and will be published in the Returning Officer’s Report. The Electoral Tribunal will declare the final result of the election after receiving the Returning Officer’s Report and resolving any appeals.
