The Australian Electoral Commission, AEC, is looking for up to 100,000 temporary staff to work at the 2023 referendum, to be held on Saturday, October 14.
Locations most in need of temporary staff in the region include Seymour and Shepparton.
AEC Tom Rogers encouraged people seeking some extra money and valuable experience to look at their calendars.
“With a date locked in, people will now know whether or not they can put their hand up to work with us in October,” Mr Rogers said.
”It’s paid work – a boost to help pay the bills, plan something nice or even get ready for Christmas.
“Most roles are a single day’s employment with training provided but some roles stretch over a few weeks.”
In keeping with the AEC’s commitment to integrity and impartiality, all staff must be publicly neutral in relation to politics and issues, meaning they can’t express an opinion or take actions that support either the ‘yes’ or ‘no’ case.
To find out more about referendum work and to register interest, people can head to the AEC website at www.aec.gov.au/employment/working-at-elections/index.htm or call (02) 6271 4631 for assistance.
