Electoral Roll

The electoral roll is the one of the ways that you can officially say you are part of St Johns, and we invite everyone who considers themselves a member of St John's to be part of it. Being part of the electoral roll also makes you eligible to attend and vote in our annual church meeting.

The requirements to join the electoral roll are set out in the form linked below.

 

In 2025 we are required to prepare a completely new Electoral Roll so even if you have previously been part of the role, you must apply to join again.

​

Deadline to complete your application: Midnight on Wednesday 19th March 2025
