Has this been taken care of?
I can only repeat what I've read on Facebook. Ernest Hilbert has posted there that she has enough nominations to have her name included on the ballot.

If I remember correctly, David, you have a Facebook account. A Facebook message to Ernie would get your question answered.

Another point is that people have to register to vote, so be sure to take care of that as well.

Alicia confirmed her nomination is in, though it has yet to be listed on the site.
I've applied for registration.
The Oxford Professorship of Poetry has the reputation of being the dirtiest elections fought in England in recent years, so this one should be fun.
If elected Alicia will be the first woman to hold the post.

I know most of you are not, understandably, into Twitter, but if you have friends who are & have a decent number of followers, they can help build grassroots support for Alicia by retweeting from @amjuster.

Can't vote, but "Liked" her page, as Janice suggested. I hope she wins!!!
May try the Twitter route. Thanks, Mike.

John, all the details are in the link Maryann supplied in her first post but I'll paste the registration and on-line voting info from the university website below:

The registration period will open on Monday, 13 April 2015 and close at noon on Monday, 8 June 2015 (BST). If you are unable to register on-line, or have any queries about the registration process, please send an email to Alex Lonie (alex.lonie@electoralreform.co.uk) or telephone +44 020 8365 8909.
Voting

Registered voters will have the option of voting, either on-line, or in person at the University Offices, from Friday 22 May until noon, on Wednesday 17 June 2015 (BST). Voters who have registered to vote on-line will be sent instructions on how to vote once their eligibility to vote has been verified.
