The Victorian state election will be held on Saturday 28 November 2026.

The Victorian Electoral Commission (VEC) is looking for people to staff voting centres in paid roles.

Roles suit a range of skills, experience and availability. Some involve several weeks of work before or after election day. Others are just for election day.

Working at an election is a chance to:

earn extra income
gain valuable work experience
meet new people
support your community
play a role in Victoria's democracy

The VEC provides training and support. Hear more about the experience from casual staff at youtube.com/electionsvic

To help the VEC place you at a local voting centre, please take 2 extra steps when you apply:

write our school's name in the free-text section of your application
email workingatelections@vec.vic.gov.au with our school's name to confirm you've registered.

If you are a school staff member interested in this work, the department’s Other Employment policy and Conflict of Interest policy apply to you. This includes the requirement to declare and seek approval for employment outside the department, as well to declare and manage any conflict of interest that may be caused by this form of other employment.

For enquiries about state election employment opportunities, contact the VEC at workingatelections@vec.vic.gov.au

Please note when applying: FNPS is not currently scheduled to be a polling booth on election day. We are listed as a back-up venue, so it is unlikely that we will be required to operate as a polling centre.
