Each Parish Church is required to maintain a Church Electroral Roll. Those whose names are entered on the Electoral Roll may vote at the Annual Parochial Church Meeting. 

You are entitled to have your name entered on the Church Electoral Roll if you are aged 16 or over,  baptised and have signed an application form in which you declare yourself either:

(a) to be a member of the Church of England (or of a church in communion with the Church of England) and resident in the parish; or

(b) to be such a member and, not being resident in the parish, to have habitually attended public worship in the parish for at least 6 months prior to the application for enrolment; or

(c) to be a member in good standing of a church which subscribes to the doctrine of the Holy Trinity (not being a church in communion with the Church of England) and also prepared to declare yourself to be a member of the Church of England, having habitually worshipped in the parish for at least 6 months prior to the application for enrolment.

The Electoral Roll is updated by the Electoral Roll Officer throughout the year. There is a general revision each year prior to the Annual Parochial Church Meeting, which is usually held in April. Once every six years, a completely new Electoral Roll must be prepared, when those whose names have been on the previous roll will need to make an application to be entered on the new roll.
