This is the basic list in every parish of all those entitled to vote on elections within the Church of England. Those entitled to have their names on the Electoral Roll of St Chad's have to be 16 years of age or more, have been baptised and must reside in St Chad's parish or be regular worshippers at St Chad's.
The process of preparing an entirely new Electoral Roll takes place every six years; this transition comes to an end at the Annual Parachial Church Meeting in 2019. Thereafter applications can be received at any time and a person included on the Electoral Roll as soon as their application has been received (or, in the case of a young person, on his or her 16th birthday). There is a down-loadable application form and an online application form.
