East Cambridgeshire district council is looking for people to help with this year’s election registration canvass. This involves going door to door and ensuring that the council’s electoral register is up to date.

There are quite a few areas in East Cambridgeshire where the council needs canvassers but they include Mepal, Witcham and Wentworth which aren’t at all far from Sutton.

The council’s registration canvassers are paid 17p per property plus a one off mileage payment of £10.  Canvassers must be over 18, able to collect all materials (I assume from the council offices in Ely although they don’t make that clear), and available to do the work between Thursday 7 and Wednesday 13 August.  Canvassers must not be politically active.

The closing date for applications is Monday 4 August. If you are interested please call the council’s elections team on 01353 665555.
