Work at the Victorian State Election
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

The Book Boxes are part of the Paint Baw Baw REaD Project, helping to make literacy more accessible to the community and encourage reading and learning at all stages of early life.
The boxes hold a collection of books suitable for children ages 0– 12. Anyone can visit these boxes, take a book, and either return it when finished or replace it with another book they think someone else might enjoy.
Council currently have children’s book boxes located at:
- Drouin Bellbird Park
- Drouin near the seating area outside Nicks Bakery & 3818 Café
- Longwarry Memorial Park
- Warragul out the front of Frankies Café
