The ballot
- The ballot is the way we assign rooms for 2nd, 3rd and 4th years
- Though in some colleges this is run by the JCR, at Hertford it’s run by the Accomodation Office
- The ballot is not scary!
- In Hilary Term you decide whether you are living out of college or in college, and on your own or with friends.
- You may ballot with friends up to a group of five – this is your ballot group
- You must enter the ballot by 8th week of Hilary
- If you have DAS room requirements you will be assigned a tailored room which best meets your needs.
- Ballot groups and individuals will then be randomly ordered, with the exception of the 10 members of the JCR committee, who go first
- So the ballot order looks like this:
- President, Treasurer, Secretary, Food and Housing Officer, Female Welfare Officer, Male Welfare Officer, Sports Officer, Academic Officer and then Access Officer
- (going to be) 3rd years – randomly ordered
- 4th years – randomly ordered
- 2nd years – randomly ordered
- In Trinity Term, everyone will have the opportunity to select a room, in order of the ballot – so the President gets first pick and the 2nd years get last
