The Notice of Revision of the Roll 2026 appeared on Friday 27th March 2026.
The revision began on Friday 10th April 2026 and
finishes on Thursday 23rd April 2026.
The electoral roll is a statutory list that enables voting at the church Annual Parochial Church Meeting (APCM) and enables those that live outside the ecclesiastical parish to vote at the Annual Meeting of Parishioners (AMP) which elects churchwardens.
The Electoral Roll reflects in part our adult membership (although some church attenders are not on the roll) but it excludes clergy.
Anyone who qualifies can join the Electoral Roll (needs to be 16 or over - if you are nearly 16 contact me), baptised and able to declare they are a member of the Church of England or a similar church that believes in the Trinity, and either lives in the ecclesiastical parish - check the shaded area to see if it includes your home - or has worshipped regularly with us for at least the last 6 months)
If you wish to complete a paper copy of the electoral roll application form they can be obtained for each church at every service between up till April 23rd. These forms are on white paper. They can also be obtained from the Parish Office, welcome desk and church open teams during this period.
Prefer to do things digitally?
You can download a PDF which you can complete which you can print or complete in a PDF program (Adobe Acrobat is ideal) and save locally and then email - don't use the send feature within Adobe as that seems to send a blank form! (see below).
However you complete the form, it needs to be returned by 11.59pm on Thursday April 23rd 2026 to Ian Gale (Electoral Roll Officer) via the Parish Office or by email (scanned copy or digital copy) to er@parishofrayleigh.org.uk
As a totally separate initiative we are preparing a Parish Directory where adults involved in Holy Trinity and St Michael's who are happy to share contact information with each other.
You can download the paper version to print and complete.
Even more digitally you can fill in the form below and submit.
