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.
If you're already part of the electoral roll, there's no need to apply again. You can check this at the link below.
