Election of non-executive Chapter Member 

 An election of a non-executive member (trustee) of Chapter will take place via electronic means in accordance with the Cathedral’s Statutes between 26 April and 9 May. 

To be eligible to stand candidates will need to be on the Electoral Roll, confirmed members of the Church of England and eligible to be a Charity Trustee.  

Nominations must be received by the Chief Operating Officer, as Presiding Officer, before 23.59 on Sunday 14 April 2024 by email to election@portsmouthcathedral.org.uk or and be signed by two eligible nominees (on Electoral Roll) and the person nominated.  Forms are available in the Cathedral or though the website. Elections will be held electronically between 26 and 9 May. 

All those on the Electoral Roll, Chapter and its committees will receive notification of the election and nomination process. 

Revision of Electoral Roll 

 
This year's Annual Parochial Church Meeting and Parish Meeting will take place on Sunday 12 May at 12.30pm.  The Revision of the Electoral Roll will take place between 31 March and 14 April. During this time, copies of the current Electoral Roll will be available to view in the Cathedral or at the Cathedral Offices. Forms will also be available for new or returning members of the congregation to join/re-join the Electoral Roll. 

The revised Electoral Roll will be published, as required, between 28 and 14 days before the APCM and Parish Meeting. Only those on the revised Electoral Roll will be entitled to vote at the APCM. 

The Electoral Roll, however, is more than just voting rights, it is also a tangible commitment of each person as to their shared Christian stewardship within our Cathedral Community.
