Elections Ontario offers a competitive rewards program and career growth opportunities in a diverse, challenging and exciting environment. Our recruitment process reflects our mission to uphold the integrity and accessibility of the electoral process and to manage elections in an efficient, fair, and impartial manner.

We are committed to fostering a positive, safe and supportive work environment that is inclusive, healthy, accessible, and is free from discrimination, harassment and workplace violence.

Together we lead change by building modern services that put the needs of electors first.

We are recruiting election officials at voting locations for the Lambton—Kent—Middlesex and the Milton by-elections. All positions are paid and training is provided. 

Election officials working at the technology-based polls will be using electronic poll books and vote tabulators. Applicants will need to be comfortable using technology. 

Election officials working at the non-technology-based polls will be using paper based products.

  • At least 18 years of age (at least 16 years of age for the position of Information Assistant and Tabulator Deputy Returning Officer); 

  • a Canadian citizen (you do not need to be a Canadian citizen for the position of Information Assistant); and 

  • a resident of Ontario.

We are seeking candidates who: 

  • are personable;

  •  have problem-solving skills;

  • are able to act as a leader; 

  • are able to communicate in English and French for electoral districts designated as bilingual; 

  • are able to work long shifts (14+ hours on election day); and 

  • hold a valid driver's license and vehicle, if needed. 

Previous election experience is considered an asset. Please note that positions (both tech and non-tech) and voting locations are assigned by the Returning Officer, and that travel may be required for training.
