Poll Clerk

Poll Clerks are required to work from 6:00am through until 10:15pm on polling day. We have polling stations across the Borough and where possible, we will place a poll clerk near to their home address.

Duties include:

  • Assisting the presiding officer to prepare and close the polling station
  • Checking identification of electors attending to vote
  • Finding and marking the electors on the register of electors and Corresponding Numbers List
  • Issuing ballot papers

Before polling day, all Poll Clerks must attend one of the 90 minute in person training sessions.

No previous experience is required.

Payment for 4 July 2024 elections: £261

This includes a payment for training and Statutory Holiday Pay at 12.07%.
