About Elections at Saint Mark's

“Parish Communicants in good standing” are eligible to vote. These are baptized persons who are faithful in corporate worship, have received the Sacrament of Holy Communion at Saint Mark’s at least three times during the previous year, are 16 years or older, and are recorded contributors to the support of Saint Mark’s with money or with personal service. There being no provision for absentee ballots or voting by proxy, electors must attend the Annual Meeting to vote.

At the Annual Meeting, three new Vestry members will be elected to three-year terms, one Vestry member will be elected to complete the term of John Friedman who resigned when he became employed by the Cathedral as Director of Operations and ten delegates to Diocesan Convention for two-year terms. Newly elected Vestry members will begin their service in March. For more information about candidates, click on the link below.
