The Australian Electoral Commission has around 2000 casual jobs available on Saturday May 21, at polling stations in Cunningham (718 positions), Whitlam (676 positions) and Gilmore (751 positions).
The AEC State Manager for NSW, Rebecca Main, encouraged anyone who is interested to register through the AEC website.
"Temporary election work is paid and no election experience is required - we'll give you all the training and support you need," Ms Main said.
"We want to have people working at polling places who reflect our diverse population, so we welcome registrations of interest from everyone - including people who speak a language in addition to English, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and people with a disability.
The jobs involve working in polling places on election day, counting votes and administrative tasks.
