Hiring Process

Returning Officers are responsible for hiring all election officers in their electoral division.

An online application will be available once the hiring process has commenced. Your application will be directed to the Returning Officer for your electoral division based on your residential address. You may also be requested to work in electoral divisions that are adjacent to where you live.

Returning office staff will contact qualified applicants by phone or email to discuss the applicant’s qualifications and available positions. All successful applicants must complete online and classroom training to prepare them for their role.
