Church House Conference Centre, Westminster will utilise its unique wireless voting system this week at the annual national assembly of the Church of England; The General Synod.

In total, 469 leading figures will use the audience response system; ‘Agenda’ produced by market leading company IML, to register their votes on high profile religious issues including the ordainment of women bishops.

As a legally binding digital voting system, the Synod has the ability to use the results generated by the technology to pass measures that can result laws.

Robin Parker, General Manager of Church House commented; “General Synod is a very prestigious occasion, one that pulls together all of our resources at Church House. The audience response system is an integral part of the meeting and part of a very complex AV setup that is also rigged for live broadcast.”

He continued; “Church House owns the largest IML voting system in the world and our staff will take to the road with it to provide it for the second annual session of the Synod held at the University of York in July.”

The General Synod runs from 9th – 13th February at Church House Conference Centre.
