The Electoral Roll and Data Protection: Guidance (Updated November 2020)Electoral Roll Guidance Document (PDF)Electoral Roll Guidance Document (Word)The constitutional rules relating to the Electoral Roll (“the Roll”) were revised and simplified by Governing Body in November 2020. The requirement for the annual revision of the Roll (and the annual display of notices) has been discontinued. People may apply to be added (or removed) from the Roll at any time.The Roll should not be displayed publicly in church. Instead, a list of names (not addresses) appearing on the Roll should be made available for inspection on request by any Member of the Church in Wales. Member of the Church in Wales means: Member of the Church in Wales means:any office holder in the Church in Wales;any Cleric and deaconess in receipt of a pension from the Representative Body;any person whose name is entered on the electoral roll of a Parish; andany member of the Governing Body and the Representative Body and any committees of them.A revised Electoral Roll form, in English and Welsh, is available to download below in both PDF and Word format. The Word version of the form can be amended by parishes to insert their parish details but should not be further amended.Electoral Roll form (PDF)Electoral Roll form (Word)A draft Privacy Notice is also available below in Word format.
