Message from West Suffolk Council:
Have you ever thought about working at a polling station or helping to count the
votes at an election? We are looking to recruit motivated and enthusiastic staff
and we would love to hear from you if you’re interested in becoming involved.
Working at a polling station
Polling station staff are responsible for making sure voting
procedures are correctly followed. On election day, staff must have

through the day until after the polls close at 10pm.
Roles available:

Working at the count
Counting assistants count the votes cast at polling stations, together
with any postal votes. Depending on the election, counting may take
place straight after the polls close (10pm on polling day) or on the
following day.

Why you should apply:
Whether you are looking to gain valuable experience, earn additional
income, or simply contribute to your local community, individuals
from all backgrounds are encouraged to apply!
