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.

• A backup counter follows the e-learning course and is on standby during election night. 

What does a polling station official do?

As a polling station member, you will be jointly responsible for the running of the polling station under the supervision of the (deputy) chairperson. You are customer-oriented, assertive, accurate, and have a strong sense of responsibility. 

• A reserve polling station member completes the e-learning course and is on standby throughout the entire election day. 

Are you a reserve polling station official or reserve vote counter?

We will call on you when necessary. A well-stocked reserve list is very important to us. Every election, we call on reserve members at the last minute due to cancellations by polling station officials and vote counters. Don't hesitate to sign up. Even if you are on the reserve list, you will receive a small allowance. 

Then you get from us:

• A nice allowance (reserve polling station member €20.00, counter €50.00, reserve counter €20.00)
• A great experience for your resume and a unique opportunity to contribute to fair elections.
• The opportunity to volunteer at the polling station together with friends, colleagues, neighbors, or other acquaintances.
