New Electoral Roll The Electoral Roll is the register of church members who are eligible to be a Churchwarden, stand for PCC and have a vote at the Annual Meeting. You must either be resident in the Parish or have attended worship for at least six months. Every six years a completely new Roll is required. This means that ALL those previously on the Electoral Roll must reapply. New members can be added. The PCC will take reasonable steps to notify those on the existing roll advising that a new role is being drawn up. Paper forms will be available in both churches. Alternatively, forms can be completed electronically, and an electronic signature is permitted. A form is attached. Forms must be received by 25th April 2025. Any names received after this date cannot be added till after the Annual Meeting which takes place on 18th May 2025. Please return completed paper forms to either Kath Jones or Patricia Wilkinson. Please don’t leave completed forms in church unless they are in a clearly marked envelope. Or email forms to johnpaulparish.electoralroll@gmail.com This address can also be used to request forms.
