The churchwardens of every parish shall be chosen from persons who have been baptised and—

  1. whose names are on the church electoral roll of the parish

It is expected that 2 churchwardens are elected for each parish.

  • on the church electoral roll of the parish and are either confirmed or ready and desirous of being confirmed or receiving Holy Communion in accordance with Canon 8 15A.1(b) (which relates to communicant members in good standing of other Churches which subscribe to the doctrine of the Holy Trinity).
