Parish of Lyndhurst and Emery Down and Minstead
Electoral Roll
The Church Electoral Roll is a list of people eligible to vote at the Annual Parish Meeting.
Being a member of the Electoral Roll enables you to have a say in the running of the Parish and to be more engaged in the life of our church community.
If you haven’t been on the Roll before, please do consider it carefully. The Application Form below gives more details of eligibility, but simply ..if you are 16 or over and attend social events or services in churches in our Parish, you are already part of the church family and we encourage you to apply; (one form for each individual). Please take time to read all the information on the form.
Applications are welcomed any time during the year and will be officially added to the Roll in time for the Annual Meeting which usually take place during April/May.
Every six years, the Church of England requires each parish to prepare a completely new Electoral Roll. This has now been completed for 2025. Until 2031, the existing Roll will be revised annually.
If you’d like to apply now, blank forms are downloadable from this website (see below) or you can find a supply of paper copies in each of our three churches.
You may complete your downloaded form electronically and email it to the Parish Office: benefice@newforestparishes.com
If you have completed a paper copy, you are invited to deliver (letterbox outside the external office door) or post to the Parish Office, St Michael and all Angels’ Church, High Street, Lyndhurst, SO43 7BD
