Conduct of elections at annual meetings
3.—(1) At the beginning of rule 10(1) there shall be inserted the words “Subject to the provisions of any scheme made under rule 10A and for the time being in force”, and after rule 10 there shall be inserted—
“Variation of method of election by scheme
10A.—(1) The annual meeting may make a scheme which provides that the election of parochial representatives of the laity to the parochial church council or to the deanery synod or to both that council and that synod shall be conducted upon the principle of proportional representation under rules, with the necessary modifications, made by the General Synod under rule 33(4) and for the time being in force.
(2) No scheme under this rule shall be valid unless approved by at least two-thirds of the persons present and voting at the annual meeting nor shall it be operative until the next ensuing annual meeting. Every such scheme shall, on its approval, be communicated to the secretary of the diocesan synod who may, if he considers it appropriate, lay the scheme before the bishop's council and standing committee of that synod, which may determine that the scheme shall not come into operation.”
(2) In rule 10(7)(a), after the word “voter” there shall be inserted the words “on the reverse thereof”.
