State Election

[tielan]

I offered to assist in the NSW State Election next weekend before I realised I had the job.

So, it's going to be a long week and a busy weekend to boot. *sigh*

I'm reading the training manuals for Election Officers (let's be honest, I'm the lowest of the low on this rung) and they've got a whole section devoted to 'Providing Services to Electors with Additional Needs' which includes indigenous electors, electors with disabilities, and culturally and linguistically diverse electors.

Wow.

Very cool! I admire you for doing that!

I admire me for doing it. I signed up back when I had no job and any money seemed like a good idea!

Now...I have an all-day desk job that makes me antsy, and that's just going for 8 hours, not even the full 12 of an election day.

I just want to collapse in advance...

Welcome to the ranks of election officials. I'd love to hear about your experience once you're done.

Definitely bring along snacks and water. Those are the main things that have gotten me through elections over the years.
