Deputy Returning Officer

Following our recent governance review, we have implemented a new structure for the Sabbatical Officer team and a new structure that provides more extensive oversight of the SU elections process.

The Deputy Returning Officer (DRO) plays a crucial role in ensuring the fairness and equality of the Cambridge SU elections by providing an objective perspective on all decisions made during the electoral process. The DRO will oversee important information, including the election timetable and briefings, and will have the authority to recommend improvements to the Union's democratic practices.

A key responsibility of this role is handling any complaints regarding the election proceedings and effectively communicating the outcomes, notices, and resolutions related to those complaints.

The successful role holder will need to be available to make decisions and rulings throughout the election period.
