Returning Officer

Hello! I’m Lucas, a third-year Classicist and the Returning Officer of Corpus Christi JCR.

The role of Returning Officer is the only appointed office in the JCR, and my primary duty is to maintain, understand and interpret that sacred text which is the JCR Constitution. I organise elections in which our Officers and Representatives are chosen, which also involves chairing Hustings, approving electoral publicity and otherwise ensuring that the wheels of our democratic process turn smoothly.

  Outside of elections, you may see me asking for motions for JCR meetings, or publicising the list of such motions. I shall be there in these meetings to provide clarity on questions of the Constitution. I also sit on Executive Committee and am responsible for overseeing and holding to account the JCR President.

  Should you have any questions regarding any aspect of the JCR Constitution, my role, or our electoral processes, or would like to get involved in the JCR yourself, I shall be more than happy to help. You can get in touch by emailing: lucas.kirk@ccc.ox.ac.uk
