WODC Electoral Registration Canvassers Recruitment

WODC are looking to recruit ten people to undertake canvassing work in the period from mid-October to mid-November 2021.  

£12 per hour plus Mileage CASUAL: evenings/weekends Allocated Areas throughout West Oxfordshire 

The main duties are summarised by clicking here Electoral Registration Canvassers – Advert, and involve visiting/making contact with properties that have not responded to a canvass form asking them to confirm that the electoral information held by the Council is correct, or to tell us what needs to be changed. In most cases, the most effective time to be visiting properties will be evenings and weekends. 

Appointed canvassers will be allocated an area which will be, where possible, the most convenient for them geographically. It will not be possible to sub-divide any of the ten areas.

We would encourage people to sign up to do this sooner rather than later.

Proxy voting

If a resident is unable to make it to the polling station, then they can nominate someone to be their proxy and cast their vote for them. The proxy needs to be a registered voter and able to attend the voter’s own polling station. Applications for proxy voting need to be sent to the District Council by no later than 5pm on Tuesday 27 April.
