What’s involved?

The AEC is looking for people to work in the following paid temporary roles in polling places this Saturday:

  • Polling place Officer in Charge
  • Polling place Second in Charge
  • Declaration Voting Issuing Officer
  • Polling Assistants. 

A summary of the roles, and what’s involved, is available on the AEC website.

All AEC election roles in polling places are paid a package rate. Details on the pay, terms and conditions can be found in the Collective Determination.

Working in a polling place is an all-day effort – but rewarding! Staff will start at around 7am and finish no later than 11pm. 

Note: some roles require a police check.

COVID-19 safety

COVID-19 safety measures will be in place at polling places and other workplaces to protect AEC workers and voters. All temporary election workers will need to wear a face mask and be fully vaccinated.
