Join Our Electoral Roll

All churches in the Church of England have an Electoral Roll, which is the church’s register of electors. In the same way that being on the civic Electoral Roll allows you to vote in local and parliamentary elections, 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.


Joining the Electoral Roll is optional. You can still be a full and active member of All Saints without being on it.
Being on the Electoral Roll does not entail signing up to any additional commitments, however, it does help the Church show its strength. Representation on the governing bodies of the church depends on the number on the Electoral Roll.
Joining the Roll is compulsory if you wish to: Stand for election to the PCC or other synodical council (such as the Deanery, Diocesan or General Synod); attend the Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) and participate in votes.

The Electoral Roll is fully renewed every 6 years – and 2025 is such a year! Everyone who is already on the Electoral Roll needs to re-apply to join the new Electoral Roll – membership does not automatically roll over this year. New applicants are always welcome.

If we have your email address on ChurchSuite (our church directory) you will be emailed inviting you to reapply, with a link to the application form which will be pre-populated with the contact details you have previously given us (these can be amended). The application form can also be found below, or you’re welcome to pick up a green application form from the Church Welcome Area (please return completed paper forms to the wooden box at the back of church).

All applications need to be received by Monday 28th April in time for this year’s APCM on 21st May. The new Roll will be published at the back of church (names only) between 7th and 21st May.

If you would like to know more about joining our Electoral Roll, please get in touch.
