Anyone else working on the Referendum?

I'm on the straight through shift. Could be a very long day/night:yawn:

I think it will be a busy day and hopefully there won't be too many recounts!

I actually would have been interested in volunteering for a role as counting officer for my local area. In fact I emailed the Electoral Commission to ask them about it, but turns out I'm out of the country from Thursday evening so I wouldn't be able to anyway.

Hope you've stocked up on Red Bull and coffee for it!

Yeah I'm doing the referendum but not the count - should be OK as long as it's reasonably busy

I'm jealous. I have always wanted to do a general election or something like this.


PS my box of Remain papers will arrive soon. Good luck counting them all.

The name gives it away
Believe me as someone who has done every local, general, European and referendum for the last 50 years, it's the most boring day you can imagine. I'm pretty sure this will be my last although it should be busy which might make the day go a bit quicker.

Maybe a stupid question, but is this a paid job or voluntary?

I've pretty much done them all for 30 years and I love it!

Never had a boring day yet.

Did some local and general elections when I was in branch banking years ago........council thought we would be able to count bits of paper quickly I guess. Was reasonably well paid back in the day.
