2 Electoral Roll Info - Please Read and re-join This is the basic list in every parish of all those entitled to vote on elections within the Church of England. Those entitled to have their names on this roll have to be 16 years of age or more and they must reside in the relevant parish or be regular worshippers in church whose roll they wish to join. The roll is completely renewed every six years, at which point all members have to re-apply for membership or else their names will be deleted. By this means, the continuing validity of the roll is maintained. The forms will be ready this weekend to fill in and to hand back straight away if you wish. You could also print your own copy and bring it to church. The last date for enrolment will be on Mon 9 April 2018 PARISH OF Full name Preferred title (if any) Full address Postcode 1: I declare that (please tick only one box from options A or B) 1A 1B I am baptised and am aged 16 or over I am baptised and become 16* on *Those who become 16 in the next twelve months may complete the form and become eligible to be entered on the roll on their sixteenth birthday. 2: I declare that (please tick only one box from options A, B or C) 2A APPLICATION FOR ENROLMENT ON THE CHURCH ELECTORAL ROLL I am a member of the Church of England (or of a Church in communion with the Church of England) and am a resident in the parish.
