Apr 6, 2023 | 9:38 AM

LETHBRIDGE, AB – Elections Alberta had announced that it has launched a recruitment campaign for the next 2023 Alberta provincial general election.

Across the 87 electoral divisions, provincial officials say approximately 20,000 staff will be hired to deliver voting services to Albertans.

A wide range of positions are required, including Site Supervisors, Information Officers, Voting Officers, Record Clerks, Registration Officers, Ballot Box Clerks, and Site Monitors.

Pamela Renwick, Deputy Chief Electoral Officer, said, “Election officers are an essential part of the voting process. This year, we are preparing to offer in-person voting at over 300 advance voting, 600 mobile voting, and 1,200 Election Day voting locations, and making sure we have enough staff is crucial to our goal of making voting accessible across the province.”

“This is a great role for stay-at-home parents, students, active and passive part-time job seekers, and retirees,” added Renwick.
