If you have worked in previous elections

You do not need to register again if you have worked at a previous election.

Working at past elections does not guarantee we will offer you a role in the future. Roles are offered based on the staffing needs of the area.

Disclosure of political activities

Having staff who are politically neutral is critical to our impartiality. We will ask you to complete a disclosure of political activities before we appoint you to a role. We are lawfully authorised to refuse employment to a person because of any political membership or activity.
