Electoral Roll revision 2024
What is the Electoral Roll?
The church’s Electoral Roll is the register of its voting members; it is a list of those qualified to attend and to vote at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting.
Electoral rolls provide an indication of the real membership and strength of the church.
Existing members should check that their information is correct. There is no need to re-apply this year.
Who can be on the electoral Roll?
Baptised adults (over 16 years) who live in the parish, or who have worshipped regularly at Beverley Minster for at least six months and are committed to being part of the life of the local Church of England congregation.
Why Join?
Enrolment is a way of saying….“I belong”.
For us it is an act of commitment to Beverley Minster and the church as a whole. It opens the way for a greater involvement in the life of the church at parish, deanery, diocesan and national levels.
The electoral roll acts as a “membership list” for churchgoers in the parish, and gives entitlement to vote at the Annual Parochial Council Meeting, (APCM), or stand for office as Churchwarden or PCC member.
Revision of the Electoral Roll 2024
Over the next few weeks we are making an effort to update the Electoral Roll starting on Sunday 24 March and ending on Sunday 21 April.
This is an opportunity to remove names that no longer qualify, to update addresses and most importantly to enter new names on the Roll.
There is a table in the Minster with slips for deletions and address changes. There are forms for new enrolments.
