Burlington, Ont. – July 3, 2014—The City of Burlington will be hiring approximately 350 people to work as poll clerks, revision clerks, greeters and reserve workers during the 2014 municipal election.

Selected applicants will be invited to attend an interview and a mandatory training session. Successful applicants will be compensated after completing training and working their scheduled election shifts.
