Local people asked to help with forthcoming PCC election
Warwick District Council is appealing to residents to help support the upcoming Police and Crime Commissioner election in May.
The Council is advertising several paid roles to support the election of the Warwickshire Police and Crime Commissioner, from supervising polling stations on voting day (Thursday 2 May) to assisting with the count, which will take place at Stoneleigh Park on Saturday 4 May.
The roles, which include Presiding Officers, Poll Clerks and Count Clerks, are available to anyone over 18 years, subject to proof of ID.
Those applying to work at a Polling Station will need to be available from 6.30am to 10.30pm on Thursday 2 May.
The hours for the election count are expected to be from 9am to 4pm on Saturday 4 May.
Chris Elliott, Returning Officer for Warwick District, said: “Running an election is a massive undertaking with hundreds of people needed to run the polling stations and to count the votes. By providing your support, you will not only play a vital role in the smooth running of our polling stations and at the count, but also ensure that the democratic process for our area is carried out quickly and efficiently.”
Full online training will be available for those applying for Presiding Officers and Poll Clerk roles.
