6th May Elections
22/04/2021
The number of elections and candidates means that polling day on 6 May 2021 is
one of the biggest ever held in the UK.
Our colleagues in the Borough, City and District Councils have well advanced plans
for the delivery of the polls in a safe way.
However, our colleagues need a few more people to help on polling day. You don’t
need elections experience – though that would be helpful – but you need to be good
with customers, have sound administration experience and be able to respond to
queries.
Staff are required to have the polling station prepared and opened between 7am and
10pm on polling day and will need to attend an online training session and arrange to
collect the ballot box etc before polling day and drop it off to the count venue on the
close of polls.
The work isn’t suitable for people who are campaigning or involved in the political
side of the election.
The fee for a presiding officer is at least £220, with more payable in Epping Forest
and Brentwood. In addition, a fee for attending training and mileage will be paid.
To find out more please contact your local elections office, which are listed on this
page:

If you are interested in working on the election, please contact your local
elections office through the hyper link above and not the EALC or ECC as the
initiative is driven by the Essex County Council and EALC are simply
