Election positions now open
Applications have opened for nearly 15,000 casual election staff roles needed to deliver the State general election on 26 October.
These thousands of casual roles will cover work before, on, or after election day.
Electoral Commissioner Pat Vidgen said applications are welcome from Queenslanders of all backgrounds and from all parts of the state.
“There will be many more roles to fill at this election at our early voting centres and polling booths across Queensland, as we increase the size of our state-wide team,” he said.
“You’ll be paid for your work with us, have the opportunity to meet new people and learn new skills, all while getting the chance to see democracy in action.”
Mr Vidgen advised prospective applicants to visit the ECQ website to learn more about what’s involved, including eligibility and political neutrality requirements.
Interested Queenslanders can find a position description, pay rates, and details on how to apply on the ECQ website.
