Electoral Roll
Are you a regular at St Andrew’s? Is St Andrew’s “your church”??
Join our church’s Electoral Roll and be counted as “in”!
NEW ROLL IN 2025
Every sixth year, the Church of England scraps the existing Electoral Rolls and we start afresh with a new one. To be on the new Roll, you need to complete a new form, even if you were on the previous roll. One form per person is required.
Click here to download the form. It is an editable pdf that you can fill in and either return by email to davidg@sac.church or print and return to church or the Parish Office. There are guidance notes on the second page.
CONTACTING YOU: If you are new to St Andrew’s or have not yet given us GDPR permissions to contact you, please also give us your contact details and permissions here so we can send you communications such as the Weekly Email.
If you have previously provided your details and permissions and have a MyChurchsuite login then you can check and update those details there.
Church of England governance processes are enshrined in the law of the land and the Electoral Roll is the legal register of all those who can vote for members of the PCC and Deanery Synod. The latter vote for the Diocesan and General Synod members.
However even if that does not excite you, we would still like everyone who considers themselves to be part of the St Andrew’s Church community (and who meet the criteria) to “put their hand up” to say so by being on the roll. and so be able to take part in our church governance.
Please note that we are required to publish the names (only) of people on the Electoral Roll for a couple weeks before and after the annual review of the roll at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting. We are no longer required to publish any contact details, such as addresses, that was the case before 2020.
The church’s Electoral Roll is completely separate from the Government one for political elections.
The Electoral Roll Officer for St Andrew’s is David Greenwood who will be pleased to answer any questions.
