The Role of Assistant Election Coordinator with Us

As an assistant election coordinator, you will closely collaborate with the election office in planning, preparation, execution, and evaluation of the general elections in 2026. The election office consists of a colleague who works full-time on the election and colleagues who have various assignments related to the execution of the election. In your work, you will also train poll workers, plan and carry out the practical work before and on election day, and follow up and organize election materials after the election. An example of practical work is packing election materials together with the election office. The job involves many contacts.
