Municipal election worker application form

During a municipal election or municipal special election, the municipality hires workers for a variety of positions. The Special Election for District 15, Lower Sackville, is scheduled for October 5, 2019. This Special Election will be entirely electronic with no paper ballots. Physical polling locations will be open for two advance polling dates (Saturday, September 28 and Tuesday, October 1) and on Election Day (Saturday, October 5) to allow people to vote electronically and receive assistance if needed. Because this is a Special Election for one district only, a limited number of positions will be available. We will have openings for:

  • Supervisor Deputy Returning Officer
  • Deputy Returning Officer
  • Poll Clerk
