Elections Canada

[slick2404]

Its election time again, and that means easy money for people with spare time.

Basically theres a couple of things that you can do, and you get paid by a gov't of canada cheque in the mail so no deductions!

Poll Clerk - On the day of the election you sit at one of the poling stations and hand out ballots, cross people off your list, and then count ballots and the end of the night. Its about 10-12 hours i guess based on who you work with and what time polls close.
Wage: $235 I THINK*** Last time i got that, but theres word that its 200 or 250 this election Easy money for one of sitting around.

Retriving Agent - This is a new one, and ima check it out this time
What bascailly i found out is you go to the office in your area, and answer calls. People call in and register to be on the voting list, tell you if they changed addresses or what not, and you just collect information. Its an evening and weekend job, so those lookin to make some cash this is easy aswell. They pay by the

These spots fill up quick, so those you want to get invovled, do it quick. It looks great on your resume and you can even get a reference letter out of it.

Check out www.electionscanada.ca and call the 1-800 # And they'll tell you where the nearest office is in your area and more details


Cya!

Yeah i was a DR officer in the provincial elections and i'm gonna work for this one too. Good money and pretty easy.

Hmm... looks like a good way to make an easy buck, plus there is probably a bunch you could learn about the whole voting process.

I'll apply and see if I can make it work for myself. Thanks for the heads up slick2404

I think i might check it out, if it wont interfere with my work. Doesnt hurt to learn a bit more about the voting system.

Sent this number to a friend of mine and he starts training today. Apparently it pays $16/hr for 12 hours of work

Just got a call from Elections Canada. Going to be an information officer. Doesn't pay as well but it will be good for the resume. Go for training on the 17th. Thanx slick2404 for starting this thread.

[Vypros]

too late to get in on this?

[slick2404]

Hey no problem, sounds good lots of people gettin jobs.
I dont think its too late, thier still calling people for training times just give em a shout n let them know you want to be a poll clerk or something.

Update on wages, Poll Clerk gets 150ish + 35 for training
DRO Gets 180 ish+ 35 for training. Not as good as last time, but thats because last time was the provincial and federal. still good!

[Khyron]

I did it a few years back, was brutal for a smoker. You can't leave the building for any circumstances, so be aware of that. Otherwise it was good money.

I got hired as a poll clerk in Edmonton. Around $11/hr so the pay is far from generous, but had that been the reason I applied, I wouldn't be doing this... Should be pretty cool, and look good on a resume.

I am taking the day off work at Telus and university, where I would be making much more..... heh. :D

[ronaldo]

just got back from training

poll clerk gets payed about $187
DRO gets payed about $220

both include training
