Elections Ontario needs polling station workers

If you want to make a little extra money during the election, Elections Ontario is looking for workers to work at the polling stations.

The deadline to apply online is next Tuesday.

Applicants need to be at least 18, a Canadian citizen or legally entitled to work in Canada, and a resident of Ontario.

If you are at least 16, you could work as an information assistant or tabulator deputy returning officer, so long as you have a social insurance number.

Those who work at polling stations in long-term care facilities need to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19.

"There is no doubt that with COVID-19 still present in our communities, flooding in the north, and the devastating storm of this past weekend, people have been focused on other things," said Chief Electoral Officer of Ontario Greg Essensa. "We're asking all those who can give us a day to please apply for an election official role. Working at a polling location on election day is an important chance to help your community exercise its democratic rights."

Election Day is next Thursday.

If you are still unsure where to cast your ballot, you can go online to find your polling station.

The deadline to apply for a mail-in ballot is 6 p.m. on Friday.
