Working at elections
We are looking for staff to support us when we administer the election of Councillors to Essex County Council on Thursday 7 May 2026.
You would be working in polling stations and greeting electors throughout the day, or helping us count the votes after the close of poll overnight. Staff are not permitted to work both in a polling station and at the count overnight, for safety precautions.
You must not work on behalf of a candidate or political party during an election campaign, nor be related to a prospective candidate. We will also require right to work checks for new staff.
