3 INTRODUCTION The arrangements for electoral administration in Northern Ireland (NI) are different from elsewhere in the UK. The system in NI is administered centrally by the Chief Electoral Officer (CEO) who is a statutory office holder independent of Government. He is assisted by the staff of the Electoral Office for Northern Ireland (EONI), the administrative structure that supports him in the discharge of his duties. In addition to permanent staff employed, EONI employs approximately 4,500 temporary staff to conduct polling day and for the counting of votes. Without the assistance of the temporary staff employed we would not be able to run elections successfully. Further information about EONI can be obtained on our website at BACKGROUND There are approximately 600 polling places consisting of approximately 1,400 polling stations (ballot boxes) throughout Northern Ireland. Polling stations are open to voters from 7.00am to 10.00pm. Poll staff are responsible for setting up and opening the polling station on time and managing the polling station throughout the day. After the close of poll the polling station returns and ballot boxes are taken to count centres across NI. Support count staff carry out duties at the count venue under the direction of a supervisor which may include receiving/processing/moving ballot boxes, ballot papers, count documentation and car parking arrangements including directing vehicles, checking admission lists etc. The Electoral Office for NI wishes to expand their current list of staff to ensure a sufficient number of reserve staff are available to work at polling stations and count venues to cover any last minute staff vacancies. 3
