Role Overview
Support Electoral Trainers sit at the front line of election readiness, equipping the poll officials who will run polling stations, conduct counts and tally results. The work blends hands-on instruction with logistics: you will run training sessions on polling, counting and tallying procedures, set up venues and materials, and move training content down through the cascaded levels to reach clerks and other officials. The Returning Officer also relies on you to step into the field as a Presiding or Deputy Presiding Officer when required, so the standard of training you deliver directly affects how smoothly voting and tallying proceed in your area.

- Support the Returning Officer in planning and delivering every form of electoral training under the exercise.
- Put the electoral training plans developed by the Independent Electoral and Boundaries Commission into practice at the local level.
- Collect, keep secure and distribute election training materials as training cascades from one level to the next.
- Compile and submit electoral training reports as directed by the Returning Officer.
