RE: 2026 Referendum โ October 19
Attention:
Alberta is preparing for the provincial referendum on October 19, 2026. This event will require an unprecedented number of election workers, creating opportunities for Albertans to participate in a variety of paid roles.
As organizations that serve Albertans, we encourage you to share these employment opportunities with your members, clients, employees, or networks. The Elections Alberta website provides information on available positions for returning office staff and election officers, including qualifications, responsibilities, rates of pay, and how to apply.
Election officers are appointed to work at voting places, where they provide voting services to electors. Responsibilities include setting up voting places, assisting electors throughout the voting process, answering questions, supporting other election day staff, and participating in the ballot count.
Positions are available for:
Advance voting: October 13โ17, 2026
Election Day: October 19, 2026
Ballot count: October 19โ21, 2026
Due to the anticipated high voter turnout, the ballot count is expected to begin as early as 5:00 p.m. on October 19. Counting will continue until all ballots have been processed, with election officers working scheduled shifts throughout the counting period.
Current employment opportunities and application information are available on the Elections Alberta website at https://www.elections.ab.ca/jobs/.

Sincerely,
Gordon McClure
Chief Electoral Officer
