The Electoral Roll is a register of all those eligible to vote. In other words, members of the church family with the right to vote.
It's possible to be a full and active member of St Mary's, Old Harlow without being on the Electoral Roll. However, it's an important witness and step in discipleship and it permits you to vote on church matters in the APCM.
It identifies the strength that St Mary's, Old Harlow has in the parish of Old Harlow but also across Harlow and the diocese. A strong Electoral Roll helps to increase our representation on the church governing bodies and it also increases our voice on both a local and national level within the Church of England.
Every six years each church of the Church of England has to prepare a completely new roll. We hope that you want to join the roll and we appreciate all the ways in which you have contributed to the life of St Mary's.
The Electoral Roll is, effectively, the adult (16+) membership list of an Anglican church. By being on the Electoral Roll you are signifying a commitment to St Mary's and to the life of the church. If you would like to be on St Mary's Old Harlow Electoral Roll then please complete one of the electoral forms by clicking on the link below or at the back of the church and return to the parish office.
The Church Electoral Roll will be revised by the Parochial Church Council (please, download the PDF for full details), ending on Sunday the 30th day of March 2025.
After the revision, a copy of the Roll will be published by the Parochial Church Council, on, or near to, the principal door of the Parish Church and here for at least 14 days and a copy of the Roll will be available for inspection on a reasonable request being made to the Council.
Application forms for enrolment can be obtained from the Church Electoral Roll Officer or by clicking here to download the Word document.
