DATA PROTECTION and the Electoral Roll
The Electoral Roll is important since this is how you become a member of The Church of England and as such, is your way of being committed to the membership of your local church. It also entitles you to vote for your PCC representatives at the Annual Meetings held during March or April every year. Applications to be entered on the roll are available in each of our four churches. You may also contact the Rector, Ros Greenhalgh at the Welford Rectory.
A word or two about Data Protection.
The lawful bases for processing the personal data contained in the church electoral roll come from the purposes for that processing, i.e. what we do with the personal data and why we are asking for it. In very broad terms, the key purposes are:
1. To determine eligibility for attendance at the Annual Parochial Church Council Meeting, for various elections and for other church related matters, and;
2, To create the electoral roll and administer the elections; and
3. To publish the electoral roll.
All of the relevant purposes are set out in the Church Representation Rules and Parish PCCs must comply with these statutory requirements. Anyone who applies to be put on the electoral roll should be aware of all relevant requirements by reading the following ‘Privacy Notice’ below. There is provision, on request, to withhold your home address from being published on the Electoral Roll but your full name must be present.
