Electoral Roll

FOR ACTION…
The NEW Chaplaincy Electoral Roll

What is the Electoral Roll?
The Electoral Roll a register of people who are able to elect other people in the church,  Being on the chaplaincy Electoral Roll means that you can vote on any relevant issues at the AGM and stand for election to the chaplaincy council.  A new electoral roll is created every six years so even if you are on the roll now you need to re-register.
Who should join the Electoral Roll?

  • If you are baptised, 18 or over and consider St Marks’ or St Paul’s to be ‘your church’ please sign up!  This is one important way of showing your commitment, it means you can vote at the AGM and are eligible to stand for election to the council.
  • If you are already on the Roll, sign up again!
  • If you are new, sign up!

What should I do now?
Fill in the forms!  You will need to complete an Electoral Roll form and because we are also a 1905  religious association under French law you will be asked to complete this form too.

Please speak to Pamela Chiodi in the church office if you have any questions or need help with which boxes to tick on the form!
Please complete both the forms below and return them to the church office as soon as possible and before 1 April.

John 3:16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”

Perhaps this is a good time to ask ourselves in what way our lives have been changed by these words…

..and to share with someone, a friend or a family member or a colleague how these words have moved us and changed our lives.
