BVC Electoral Roll

This year is a full revision of the Electoral Roll so everyone will need to apply even if they are on the current roll before Sunday 23rd February 2025.

Who can be included on the Electoral Roll?

People who:

• have been baptised and
  

• attained their sixteenth birthday on or before the date of the annual parochial church meeting, and
  

• submitted a signed application form for enrolment, and must be one of the following:
  

  • a member of the Church of England, or of a Church in communion with the Church of England, and resident in the parish; or

  • a member of the Church of England and, not being resident in the parish, to have habitually attended public worship in the parish during a period of six months prior to enrolment; or

  • 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 himself to be a member of the Church of England having habitually attended public worship in the parish during a period of six months prior to enrolment.

The Electoral Roll is for lay persons only.

Retired clergy are still clergy and therefore not eligible for inclusion.
