Elections Nova Scotia is putting out a call for workers to help out with the provincial election.
Anyone over the age of 18 is encouraged to contact the returning officer in their electoral district.
“It takes a lot of people and effort to make an election run smoothly, especially during a pandemic,” a news release says. “Elections Nova Scotia needs dedicated workers to facilitate voting and ensure safe cleaning protocols are enforced at all voting locations.”
Positions that may need to be filled according to the agency’s website include enumerators, write-in-ballot coordinators, deputy returning officers, and poll clerks.

The agency adds public health measures will be in place to help keep everyone safe.
Those working the election will need to wear masks and there will be a tabletop shield between voters and workers.
Physical distancing will be enforced at voting locations, and shared surfaces will be frequently disinfected.
Voters will be asked to sanitize their hands at entrances and exits and bring their own pen.
