Workers wanted to delivery democracy

State-wide recruitment drive for 2023 NSW State election

The NSW Electoral Commission has today launched its recruitment drive for more than 24,000 people across NSW to deliver the election in March next year.

Wayne Morgan, Director of Election Support Services, says there are thousands of opportunities for people across NSW to earn some extra money on election day.

“Jobs are available in every NSW region and no experience is needed.”

“We provide training to staff and you’ll join a huge team working together to deliver the election.”

“If you’re available to work on Saturday, 25 March and enrolled to vote, you can submit an expression of interest via our website.”

Election officials perform a range of tasks on election day, including:

  • providing information and assistance to voters

  • sorting and counting ballot papers

  • working together to manage the smooth running of voting centres.

Mr Morgan said the Electoral Commission was looking to hire staff who reflect the diversity of the communities they would be working in.

“In particular, if you speak a language in addition to English, we encourage you to express your interest.”

“You don’t need previous election experience, but it’s a great day’s work in your local community and we have a lot of staff who return again and again.”

“It’s easy to apply and you’ll be part of delivering one of the largest and most important events in the state.”
