Working at Polling Stations

Have you ever thought about working at a polling station or helping to count the votes at an election? Our Elections Team is always looking to recruit motivated and enthusiastic staff. We would love to hear from you if you are interested in becoming involved. 

Elections are a great opportunity to work as part of a team and take a sense of pride in playing a role in supporting democracy.

You could help us by playing an important role for your local community – plus it’s a fantastic way to earn some extra money.

Working at a Polling Station

Polling station staff are responsible for making sure voting procedures are correctly followed. On election day, staff must have their polling station set up and ready to open for 7am, working through the day until after the polls close at 10pm.  You must be available to work throughout these hours.

All staff employed to work at a polling station must attend an online training session before taking up their appointment.
