Dozens of paid positions still available in Kamloops area on voting day: Elections Canada
KAMLOOPS — It’s still nearly two weeks until voting day, but preparation is well underway in Elections Canada returning offices in Kamloops and Salmon Arm.
Kamloops-Thompson-Nicola Returning Officer Geoff Collier says Elections Canada will become one of the region’s top employers on April 28, with about 800 people working to coordinate and tally the vote in his riding alone.
There are still about 100 paid positions that need to be filled in Kamloops-Thompson-Nicola, both in Kamloops and in surrounding communities.
“We’re looking for folks to work as voting officers. They’re the people who take your votes at polls,” Collier told CFJC Today. “We still need a few of those and we also need a large number of spares because people, unfortunately, do drop off for various reasons. We still need about 40 spares.”
