What is the Electoral Roll?

The electoral roll is the St Peter's Church register of electors.

 

In the same way that being on the civic Electoral Roll allows you to vote in parliamentary and local elections and referenda, joining the Church Electoral Roll means that you can vote on Church matters, attend the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) and stand for election to the PCC.

 

Being on the Electoral Roll does NOT make you a “member” of the Church, simply regarding St Peter's as your spiritual home does that.

 

Do I have to join?

 

You can be a full and active member of our Church without joining the Electoral Roll.

 

Being on the Electoral Roll does not entail signing up to any additional commitments, however, it does help the Church show its congregational strength. Representation on the governing bodies of the church depends on the number on the Electoral Roll.

 

However, joining the Electoral Roll IS compulsory if you would like to:

​

• Stand for election to the Parochial Church Council (PCC)

  • or other councils (such as the Deanery, Diocesan or General Synod)
     

• Attend the APCM and participate in votes​

Deadline for forms (to be included at this year's APCM) is Friday 4th April 2025

Any forms received AFTER this date will be added to the Electoral Roll once the APCM has taken place
