Thelay members shall have been for the two years next preceding their election members of The United Methodist Churchand shall have been active participants in The United Methodist Church for at least four years next preceding theirelection.

Every church or charge is allowed a set number of lay members andalternate lay members to vote at Annual Conference, depending upon the number of clergy eligible to vote who areserving in the congregation or charge. A church in “to be supplied” status has a vote and will need to elect a Lay Memberto Annual Conference. To ensure each charge is represented, clergy are asked to contact lay and alternate laymembers from the church or charge during late January and ask them to confirm again that they will be able toattend for all days of the session. If there is a reason the lay member cannot attend one day, or even a portion of aday, ensure the alternate lay member is informed and will be present.
