We are looking for (reserve) polling place counters!

On Wednesday, October 29, 2025, the House of Representatives elections will be held. Would you like to help out at a polling station? We are still looking for (reserve) counters.

What does a counter do?

As a counter, you work at one location. You start at 8:45 pm at a polling station of your choice (pre-arranged). Here, on election night, you accurately count all the votes, together with the other counters and polling officials.

This is what we ask:

  • Do you like the work and want to take a short e-learning?
  • Are you at least 18 years old and have the right to vote?
  • Can you work a long evening, even physically?
  • Are you good with numbers and can work accurately?
  • As a reserve counter, you will take the e-learning and be on standby during election night. In every election, we often need to call on our reserves.

Then you get from us:

  • A nice fee of €50 euros for the evening (€20 as a backup counter).
  • A great experience for your resume and a unique opportunity to contribute to fair elections.
  • The opportunity to count with friends, colleagues, neighbors or other acquaintances.
