Electoral Roll
The church's electoral roll is the register of its voting members. Electoral rolls provide an indication of the real membership and strength of the church. Enrolment is a way of saying..... "I belong". For us it is an act of commitment to St James's Church and the Church as a whole. It opens the way for greater involvement in the life of the Church at parish, deanery, diocesan and national levels. To be eligible for your name to be on it, you should be over 16 and one of the following: 1. A member of the Church of England (or of a Church in communion with the Church of England) and resident in the parish. Everybody whose name is on the electoral roll is entitled to attend and vote at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting which is held before the end of April each year. The Parochial Church Council is elected at this meeting. All you have to do is ask for an application form or download it from this website (see below) fill it in and hand it in to the parish office, the sidespersons or the churchwardens. You will then be added to the roll. If you have any questions or concerns about this form, please approach the churchwardens or the administrator in the parish office. Under the terms of the Data Protection Act the information declared on this form will be stored and used only by St James’s Parish Church for internal use. This information will not be passed on to any third party. Notes1. If your 16th birthday falls in the next twelve months, you may complete the form and become eligible to be entered on the roll on your birthday.
