Opportunity to work at the Local Gov Elections

Conducting an election is a major public event. During major election events some 5 million electors vote across NSW.

The NSW Electoral Commission offer opportunities to work at state and local government elections. Work is available on election day and throughout the election period, the weeks before and after election day. Working at an election is a great opportunity to learn new skills and meet people, while you also play a valuable part in contributing to democracy. We look for staff to work as election officials during the election period. Staff receive training, support and a competitive pay rate.

Apply to work

You can register your interest to work at the election by submitting an Expression of Interest (EOI) online. This includes State elections, Local government elections and by-elections. In your EOI you must detail any previous election experience, relevant skills, position preferences, availability, and confirm statements about political neutrality and conflict of interest.

If you provided an email address, you will be sent an email to confirm your expression of interest has been received.
