What will I do next after I submit my petition paper? After submitting your petition, you will typically be contacted by a committee of investigation. This committee will meet with you to discuss your petition and learn more about your background and motivations for joining. Following this, your petition will be presented to the Lodge for balloting.

Should a proposed candidate be balloted in the next regular meeting itself or can be done later?
A petition for initiation must be read at a regular communication, referred to an investigating committee, and laid over for one month so that due inquiry into the candidate's character and qualifications may be made. The committee presents its report, and the ballot is subsequently taken, at the next regular communication and "not sooner".

What types of business are allowed at regular meetings?
Regular communications of a lodge accommodate the general governance, administrative business, and balloting of Craft Masonry. Petitions for initiation or affiliation are presented and read during these stated meetings before being referred to an investigating committee. Investigating committee reports on candidate qualifications must also be presented at a regular communication, as regulations explicitly prohibit delivering these reports or taking the resulting ballot at a special meeting.

28 days rule
Under the disciplinary procedures of the United Grand Lodge of England , a direction by an Appeals Court that a brother be invited to resign takes effect as a penalty of suspension until he resigns; if he fails to resign within 28 days, the direction automatically becomes an order for his expulsion.

How does a candidate apply to join a Craft lodge under the Grand Lodge of India, and what procedure must the lodge follow before he can be balloted for?
Candidates seeking to join a Craft lodge must apply of their own free will and accord, as canvassing for members is not permitted, and applications must be duly proposed and seconded by members of the lodge ( Regional Grand Lodge of Southern India ; Albert G. Mackey).

Can I become freemason?
Becoming a Mason begins with a petition or proposal submitted to a lodge, as candidate solicitation is traditionally forbidden. Under standard custom in the United States, an applicant petitions the lodge nearest his place of residence. Today, an individual may also initiate contact directly by submitting his details to a local lodge or through a university scheme, as the United Grand Lodge of England provides.
