Church Representation and Ministers Measure 2019

1 is a Church of England measure passed by the General Synod of the Church of England simplifying bureaucracy of the Church of England and simplifying the electoral system of the General Synod of the Church of England.

The Church of England adopted simplified representation rules, amending the Synodical Government Measure 1969:[2][3][4] [5] The Church now requires a simple form for being put on the electoral roll - the requirement to be baptised remains.

[6] Before the passage of this legislation, the requirements of the electoral roll were significantly vaguer.

[7] The Church in Wales had adopted a similar rule change letting 16 and 17 year olds vote in 2014.

[8] Unlike most measures, which are commenced with a Church of England instrument, the measure was commenced using a statutory instrument.
