This is good but not enough. Some other denominations have non ministerial representatives (with voting rights) from among the laity.
If we are making and interpreting policy that effects constituents beyond pastors, then representatives of the same should have voting rights.

A lot of denominations do that, as you pointed out. However, this would change the nature of the UPC from an alliance of ministers to a body of believers.
I'd like to see such a change... however I'm not holding my breath.
