Should their be a signing of a church covenant in order to be a voting member?

There is actually no Biblical precedent concerning church membership, member voting, or many other operational questions that arise in modern western churches. It can be assumed from the general direction of The Bible, however, that the following train of thought is perfectly acceptable, and quite probably encouraged:
1.) We must ensure that the Word is taught accurately and fully, and that our actions and policies reflect its teachings;
2.) Therefore, we must see to it that matters left for vote do not contradict the teachings of the Bible or the overall will of God;
3.) Therefore, we should be sure that those who will vote on the matter hold the Word of God in high esteem and follow Christ.
Given this, a church covenant may simply be a means of providing the church leadership with reason to trust you to take part in such important matters. It is not necessarily the only means of doing so, but as long as it is not abusive toward the members it is a fully valid one.

When people join the Mormon church what agreements do they sign?
No agreements or contracts or forms of any kind are signed when one becomes a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church). To become a Mormon, one is baptized. Baptism is considered a covenant or contract with God, but there is no physical paper form involved. The only official paperwork involved with becoming a member of the Mormon church is a baptism certificate signed by your Bishop. While there aren't any agreements that are physically signed, Mormons believe that by being baptized, you are making a covenant with God. By being baptized you are symbolically signing a contract with God that you will obey His commandments and devote your life to being a disciple of Jesus Christ.

What is a church member?
Though all are welcome (or should be), a member of a church has more say in what the church should or should not do. They have a deciding voice (wether through voting or speaking during business meetings) in the church whether it be in the finances, general decisions, or the voting process of deacons and leaders/pastors and is normally voted in by the congregation/other members. They are usually people who have a real desire to be part of the church and not just Easter Sunday goers.
