New this year! This year children and young people who are not attending 3Generate can now vote in the 3Gen elections!
Vote for Youth President & Conference Youth Rep
Read more below
Up until 2023 voting for the role of Youth President was restricted to those children and young people who attended the Methodist Children and Youth Assembly known as 3Generate. This year children and young people connected to the Methodist Church who do not attend 3Generate will also be able to vote in the Youth President and Conference Youth Rep elections.
Vote as an attendee
For those children and young people attending 3Generate the voting process remains the same as in previous years:
• Every attendee will receive a number code on their wristband
• Enter the code to have access to vote online (via webpage or
3gen App)
• Once the code is used it cannot be used again.
• Attendees will be able to vote during the 3Generate weekend,
from when the electronic voting opens at 9am on 5th October
to midnight on 6th October.
Vote as an non- attendee
Voting as a non-attendee
For those children and young people not attending 3Generate the voting process will be different.
• All votes to be submitted by a group leader or by a church leader on behalf of the children and young people
• A link will be published to a simple form that will allow leaders to submit the votes on behalf of an individual Methodist church or circuit. The form will ask for the first names of the young people and record their respective votes.
• Only children and young people aged 8-18, who are connected with the Methodist Church, who are not attending the event will be able to vote using this method. The votes submitted by the leader will be subject to verification as required.
• A link to a voting page will be made available on this webpage from the 20th Sept and all votes must be submitted by 8pm on 6th October
In order to vote, please email 3Generate@methodistchurch.org.uk for the authorisation codes.
A step by step guide to voting as a non-attendee at 3Generate
- Assign a leader to liaise with the children and young people (this could be a children’s/youth group leader or other church leader or minister).
- Encourage the children and young people to watch the videos and read the information about the candidates
- Record the votes of the young people.
- Use the link to enter all the details onto the voting form. The leader will be asked to enter details of the church and themselves. This is so that we can verify that this is an authentic vote.
- When all the details are entered onto the form click submit – all the votes are now recorded.
- In the circumstance that we need to verify your submission you may be contacted by a member of the 3Generate team.
- Make sure that all votes are submitted by 8pm on 6th October. Votes can be submitted anytime between 20th Sept – 6th Oct 2024.
