Being on the Electoral Roll entitles you to vote at this meeting on the appointment of our Churchwardens and PCC members, and to stand for election yourself, if you wish. (You do not need to be on the Electoral Roll in order to be baptised, or to get married or to have a funeral in our churches.) If you would like to be included on the Electoral Roll for Leigh on Mendip with Downhead, please complete a form (Click here or available from your parish church or from Mary Witts – Electoral Roll Officer). Please return the form (by 31st March at the latest) to Mary Witts, 11 Bellfield, Leigh on Mendip, (email sec.lomd.pcc@gmail.com) or to one of your Churchwardens (Paula Freeland in Leigh and Steve Britten in Downhead).
