The City of Penticton is looking for people to play a key role in this year’s municipal elections: the officials who help to administer the vote.
“This is a chance for someone who is interested in the process to be actively involved in making sure our election goes off smoothly,” says Angie Collison, the City’s chief election officer. “The responsibilities run from setting up the polling stations to registering new voters to issuing the ballots. It’s a role that is fundamental to ensuring our process works and everyone who is eligible can participate.”
The City needs about 40 workers, who will be expected to work election day – October 15 – from 7 a.m. to 8:30 p.m. and if available during the advanced polls on October 5, 8 and 13.
Applicants need to be at least 16 years of age by the date you’re scheduled to work. These are casual, non-union jobs that pay $18.55 per hour. And applicants must not be related to any candidate running for office or actively working on any election campaign.
