ELECTORAL ROLL
Each year we update our Electoral Roll and in 2025 we have to renew the whole electoral roll. If you live in the parish or have worshipped with us (including online) for 6 months or longer then you are entitled to be on the electoral roll. You can download and print the forms below, and return them to our Electoral Roll Officer, Alison Manester before 30th March 2025:
Application-for-Enrolment-Electoral-Roll.pdf (best for printing)
Application-for-Enrolment-Electoral-Roll.docx (best for editing/emailing)
Or you can complete the form and email it to Alison at alimanester35@btinternet.com or give your completed form to either Alison or Clare.
The Electoral Roll is officially a list of those eligible to vote in the elections of Churchwardens, PCC and Deanery Synod members and to stand for election to the PCC. It can be made up of those who are part of the Church and/or those who live within the parish. You can, of course, be a full and active member of All Saints without joining the Roll.
Being on the Electoral Roll does not entail signing up to any additional commitments. However, it does help the church show its strength as representation on the governing bodies of the church depends on the number on the Electoral Roll. The number of people on the Electoral Roll determines the maximum number of PCC lay members and the number of representatives who can stand on the governing bodies of the church (e.g Deanery Synod) If the Roll is not representative in number the PCC will be too small for the workload involved, putting heavy strain on the members.
Unofficially it is useful as an up-to-date list of everyone who’s part of the Church family.
If you consider yourself a member of our Church, even if you can’t always make the meetings/service, please complete a form. Once completed your form can be emailed to Alison Manester, our electoral roll officer, handed to Clare Purdom or Alison, or put in the relevant box in the Hall or Church. All forms needed to be returned by the 30th March to be included in the roll for this years APCM meeting. Forms received after this date will be added to next year's electoral roll.
