How to apply for canvass and election work

See below the election job opportunities available.

 

 

Each Autumn, canvassers are employed by the Electoral Registration Officer to make personal visits to properties where the occupants have not responded to the annual canvass form.

 

This is to ensure that all eligible residents are registered and that those who are no longer eligible for inclusion on the register are removed.

 

 

For each election, the Returning Officer appoints polling and counting staff and some clerks for other duties - eg. the issue and opening of postal votes.

 

 

The polling station staff are responsible for the conduct of the ballot in each polling station, making sure that the proper procedure for voting is followed. On election day polling station staff are required to work from 6:15am until after 10pm without leaving the polling station.

 

 

Counting staff are employed to count the votes on the day and at the time appointed by the Returning Officer.

 

 

Staff are employed to issue and open postal votes in accordance with the election timetable.
