Would you or someone you know be able to help with this year’s elections to the West Sussex County Council and for the Sussex Police & Crime Commissioner on Thursday 6th May 2021.
Please tell us if you, other colleagues or adult family members can help to staff the polling stations on Thursday 6th May 2021. Payments for election work are made subject to income tax, but there are no national insurance contributions. Pay rates this year for a duty period of 16.5 hours are as follows: Poll Clerks: £170, Polling Station Stewards: £187 and Presiding Officers: £266.50. Training will be provided.
MSDC must stage covid secure elections in just 9 weeks’ time. We need more staff than usual to make the polls safe for everyone. You will be given suitable PPE to do this type of work, and it must be worn by everyone involved. Please see our public information: how we plan to make voting safe.
If you wish to know more, or if you know of people who can help, please email staffingelections@midsussex.gov.uk
or call us on 01444 477222.
Polling stations will be run safely, but if you need to apply for a postal or proxy vote, apply now.
Many thanks, Terry
Terry Stanley, Deputy Local Returning Officer and Business Unit Leader – Democratic Services
