Copies of disputed ballot papers

The request was refused by University of Cambridge.

Dear University of Cambridge,
I believe that in the ballot on Grace 3 of June 15 2011 there were a) two ballot papers which were not counted as they were considered to be invalid and b) a further two ballot papers which were 'doubtful' and so the Presiding Officer had to decide how they should be counted.
As you are probably aware, the Freedom of Information 2000 is intended to 'permit people to apply for access to documents, or copies of documents as well as to the information itself." (Paragraph 6 if the Explanatory Notes that go with the Act) and so I believe I am entitled to apply for copies of those ballot papers.
Therefore, please provide, in electronic format, to this address, copies of each of these four ballot papers, making clear which papers are in which category ((a) or (b)).
I believe that each ballot paper has a serial number printed on it. If it is necessary, for data protection reasons, for this number to be reacted before the papers can be supplied with the Act, I am happy for you to do so.

Yours faithfully,

Isobel Urquhart
