This is an excellent opportunity to join the Governance and Legal Team at Wyre Council working as the Council’s Electoral Services Administration Officer. Your main role will be to support the Electoral Services team and provide support to the Electoral Registration Officer (ERO) and the Returning Officer (RO) in the administration of all elections and referendums in the borough.
