Additional members from each congregation normally shall be equally divided between male and female." {+S7.21.c}, ". . . normally there shall be no more than one voting member of the Synod Assembly from a single household." {S7.21.A87}, and “. . . each voting member of the Synod Assembly shall be a voting member of a congregation of this synod.” {+S7.25.}

Please note that rostered persons on leave from call or retired, who are not elected as voting members, shall have voice but not vote at Synod Assembly. {S7.23.} Exception: Retired leaders on the roster of the Synod shall be voting members of the Assembly if they have pre-registered by the date of Assembly. {S7.22.01.}
