Outcome of 2017 Election from Schools to Senate
At close of the elections on Wednesday 31 May 2017, approximately 30% of the Electoral Roll had voted; the School of Textiles and Design and Edinburgh Business School had no vacancies or retiring Senators this year and therefore did not vote.
The votes were counted using the single transferrable voting system, with the following candidates elected to start their three year term of office on 1 August 2017:
| School | Elected |
|---|---|
| Energy, Geoscience, Infrastructure and Society |
Dr Gina Netto Dr David Jenkins Prof Patrick Corbett |
| Engineering and Physical Sciences |
Dr Jim Cameron Dr Thomas Ward (Malaysia) Dr Mehdi Nazarinia (Dubai) |
| Mathematical and Computer Sciences |
Dr Lyonell Boulton Dr Tessa Berg |
| Social Sciences |
Dr James Richards Dr Mo Sherif Dr Kevin Muldoon |
