As the engine for our Democratic system, the Electoral Commission plays a vital role in New Zealand.
Not only do they have the significant three-yearly responsibility for organising a fair election and ensuring confidence in the electoral system and outcome, they also manage registrations for political parties, electoral boundaries, electoral rolls and manage local elections, by-elections and referendums.
To achieve all this and to meet the delivery challenges of election cycles, their need to manage a flexible workforce has grown considerably.
