The next General Election is taking place on December 12.
Whether you're looking forward to it or not, there is a way to get even more involved by earning some cash - up to £200 to be exact.
Extra pairs of hands will be needed to supervise and organise polling stations, as well as people willing to stay up late to count ballot papers.
Oldham Council is one of the many councils in the UK that's hiring for presiding officers, poll clerks, and count assistants to help out on the big day.
Polling stations open across the country at 7am, and close at 10pm - so a long day is in store.
Taking up one of the roles is a good way to help out the local community, and if you think you'll be up through the night awaiting the result anyway, then you may as well put your time to use.
These are the roles on offer:
Presiding Officer
A presiding officer is an official in charge of the polling station at an election.
It will be your responsibility to ensure that electors are treated impartially and with respect, maintain the secrecy of the ballot, and to supervise the poll clerk at the station.
You'll have to organise the layout of the station, ensure it's opened and closed on time, and make sure instructions are clear and remain in place.
Your role is important in ensuring that voters cast their votes in secret and place them in the ballot box.
It's a near 16-hour shift, starting at 6.30am and ending at 10pm.
You'll be paid £200 plus the £40 mandatory training fee.
To apply for this position, you need previous experience as a poll clerk.
Poll Clerk
A poll clerk assists the presiding officer in the conduct of the ballot at polling stations.
Responsibilities include putting up signs and instructions, keeping the station neat and tidy, issue ballot papers to voters and ensure that they cast their votes in secret and place them in the ballot box.
Hours are the same as the presiding officer - 6.30am until 10pm.
You'll be paid £140 plus the £40 mandatory training fee.
Count Assistant
A count assistant will work overnight to carry out the counting of votes.
Your role will involve opening ballot boxes, verifying that the number of votes matches the number of ballot papers issues, and then count the votes for each candidate in the running in the election.
Hours are 9.15pm until the count is completed.
You'll be paid £100 - no training needed.
To apply for any of the above positions, you'll need to fill out an application form on the Oldham Council website here , and return it via email to election@oldham.gov.uk.
Applicants must apply ASAP.
