Election workers urgently wanted: How to become part of democracy!

Vorpommern-Greifswald, Deutschland - In Vorpommern-Greifswald, a big call to the citizens is started: election workers are urgently sought for the upcoming Bundestag election. The reason is a blatant lack of volunteers compared to the neighboring district of Vorpommern-Rügen, where numerous helpers have already registered, especially in the north of Rügen, such as NDR reported.

The election workers are used in the municipal election authorities and polling stations throughout the district. Their main tasks include the organization of voting and counting the ballot paper after the ballot. A small refreshment allowance is waiting for committed helpers who not only support our democracy, but also get something back for it.

uncomplicated and without previous knowledge

No reason to worry when it comes to the requirements: Special previous knowledge is not necessary for the activity in the election board. The city of Greifswald has also clarified this in its information brochure about election workers. In the election, various officials such as election leaders, secretary and assessors are deployed, who receive an appeal letter with their respective tasks and locations before the election. Ideally, the assignment should take place in your own electoral district.

The election workers are trained extensively. All important tasks are explained in these training courses, and there are also clear instructions, such as preparing the optional room or ensuring the electoral secret. In addition, the election leaders and their deputies receive special training to ensure the process and the organization of the election day, as on greifswald.de

reward for commitment

committed election workers can expect an allowance between 45 and 80 euros, depending on the function. This is a small incentive to promote participation. In addition, there is a Ground damage of 25 euros per election day for election workers, while election leaders can earn between 35 and 120 euros depending on the responsibility, as is noted on Wahlhelfer.info

A neutral and impartial administration is mandatory for all election workers. You have to take care that the elections take place fair and transparently. This includes everything from the attachment of announcements to the counting of the votes and the logging of the results.

If you are interested, you should get in touch quickly to actively shape democracy. Registration is usually made via the municipal administration, often uncomplicated online or by phone. A small step that can have a big impact on local democracy. Let us make sure that the electoral systems in Vorpommern-Greifswald work smoothly and the civil rights are preserved!
