Delivering democracy is worthy work and provides people with transferable skills as well as income.
- Electoral commissioner John Schmidt
NSW Electoral commissioner John Schmidt said no experience was necessary and all training would be provided.
“You don’t need experience to apply and we provide all necessary training,” he said, adding applicants needed to be enrolled to vote.
“We are seeking people who are team players, good communicators and enjoy working in a fast-paced, dynamic environment.”
Mr Schmidt said it was not too late to apply and thousands of workers were still needed across the state.
“There are some electoral districts where we are particularly short of staff and keen to hear from local applicants,” he said.
“Delivering democracy is worthy work and provides people with transferable skills as well as income,” Mr Schmidt said.
“We particularly encourage younger people to apply and anyone who speaks languages in addition to English.”
