As Deputy Provost I also suspend these Magisters for failing to vote for 2 or more successive votes:
Bachtendekuppen (missed 4 votes)
Catiania (missed 4 votes)
Dremaur (missed 4 votes) 
Disregard the above, they’re on thin ice still though.

I’m not sure with these Magisters, as the lack of a list of non-voting Magisters in the Election for Provost (Sorry for that) makes it difficult to check for these people:
Brotherlandprez1
Kyon Thomas
McStooley

I will edit the post as soon as possible if something went wrong.
