How Delegates Are Selected for the General Conference Session

[Richard Myers]

Unions and divisions of the General Conference select delegates in harmony with regular delegate quotas and selection processes outlined in the Bylaws.  Members of the General Conference Executive Committee are also delegates at a General Conference Session.

The total number of delegates from each division must include at least 50% of the group being lay members, pastors or other front line workers. A majority of that 50% must be laypersons.

There are two kinds of delegates: regular delegates and delegates-at-large. Regular delegates represent the General Conference member units as outlined in the bylaws.

Delegates-at-large represent the General Conference and its institutions as well as divisions and their institutions.

The entire delegation for a General Conference Session is comprised of:

    Delegate quotas based on units of organizational structure
    Delegate quotas based on division membership as a percentage of total world membership, and
    Delegates representing the General Conference, its institutions plus divisions and their institutions.
