Malta’s Electoral Commission Seeks Helping Hands for Upcoming Elections

Imagine this: the bustling streets of Valletta, Malta’s capital, filled with the hum of chatter and the rustle of campaign posters. Election day is just around the corner, and the Electoral Commission is on the hunt for extra hands to ensure the democratic process runs smoothly. But this time, it’s not just about the usual suspects – they’re looking for you too.

Assistant Commissioners: The Backbone of the Operation

The Electoral Commission has issued a public call for assistant commissioners to join their ranks. These are the backbone of the electoral process, responsible for overseeing the smooth running of polling stations across Malta and Gozo. From the quiet streets of Msida to the lively squares of Rabat, assistant commissioners will be the ones ensuring every vote counts.

But what does the role entail? Assistant commissioners are responsible for setting up and managing polling stations, ensuring all necessary materials are available, and most importantly, maintaining order and fairness throughout the voting process. It’s a big task, but it’s also a chance to play a pivotal role in Malta’s democratic process.

Counting Staff: The Unsung Heroes

While assistant commissioners are the face of the operation, the Electoral Commission also needs counting staff to tally the votes once the polls close. These are the unsung heroes, the ones who ensure that every vote is counted accurately and efficiently.

Counting staff will be responsible for collecting and counting the votes from each polling station, a task that requires precision and care. It’s a crucial role, and one that demands long hours and keen attention to detail. But it’s also an opportunity to witness democracy in action, to see the results of an election come to life.

How to Apply: A Step-by-Step Guide
