About WDC, the team and the Role
The Electoral Services team is made up of an Electoral Services Manager, two Electoral Services Officers and three Electoral Services Assistants. We have recently undertaken a restructure within the team due to the new electoral laws being implemented which has changed the way the electoral processes work for both electoral registration and running elections.
