From Andrew Caspari, Chief Operating Officer (Diocesan Secretary):

Over the last few days we have received a number of comments and representations regarding exceptional difficulties with postal systems in various parts of the Diocese.  In response, the Bishop has taken steps to provide for the conduct of the current elections by email. I attach a copy of the instrument made by the Bishop. Please read the instrument and the explanatory note carefully. Do get in touch as soon as possible if you have any questions.

Electors can still request communication by post, and return completed nominations forms and voting papers by post, if they would prefer that.

The changes to the rules governing the elections apply to all valid nominations received by the deadline (i.e. including any nominations already submitted).

Please note that completed nomination papers and voting papers must be sent to the Presiding Officer at election@europe.anglican.org  The use of any other email address will not be valid for this purpose.

As previously notified, the closing date for nominations is June 10th 2021 at 1600 BST.
