During county and municipal elections, many people work in important roles as vote counters or election officials. If you are getting an earnings-related daily allowance, please note that the remuneration you receive for these tasks may affect your daily allowance.
If you get paid for being a member of an election committee, it is a position of trust and will not affect your daily allowance.
If you get paid to work as a vote counter or election assistant, it is considered an employment relationship, and the remuneration will be taken into consideration. In this case, you will receive an adjusted daily allowance.
With adjusted daily allowance, 50% of the income you earn will decrease your daily allowance. Find out more: Adjusted daily allowance
