Perth, Western Australia Programmed Full time

At Programmed, we are seeking skilled professionals to support the Western Australian Electoral Commission in delivering a successful state election.

About the Role

We are currently looking for individuals to fill various positions within our team. These roles include Issuing Officer, Student Electoral Officer, Voter Information Officer, General Assistant, Ballot Box Guard, and Queue Controller.

As an Issuing Officer, you will be responsible for issuing ballot papers to electors on polling day. You will also rotate as a ballot box guard and queue controller.

The Student Electoral Officer role involves assisting in polling place duties performed by officers, with limited hours. This is an excellent opportunity for year 11 or 12 students to gain valuable experience.

Voter Information Officers will engage centrally through the Electoral Ambassador program and may be assigned to polling places with high concentrations of culturally and linguistically diverse (CaLD) or indigenous electors. They will assist electors with language, literacy, or other requirements.

General Assistants will assist with the setup of polling places on the night before polling and help with the count and pack-up on polling day. They may work at larger polling places with one to two General Assistants allocated to them.

Ballot Box Guards ensure the correct ballot box papers are put into the ballot boxes and rotate as issuing officers and queue controllers. After 6 pm, they become counting officers to conduct the counting of ballot papers.

Queue Controllers manage the queue into the polling place and direct electors as needed, rotating as issuing officers and ballot box guards. After 6 pm, they also become counting officers.

What We Offer

As a Voting Operations Assistant, you will have the opportunity to contribute to the electoral process and make a difference in your community.

Our estimated salary range for this position is $25-$35 per hour, depending on the level of the role.

We welcome applications from women, people of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander descent, and people from diverse backgrounds.
