Payment details, including any training, transport, feeding or election-day allowance, may be communicated directly to successful applicants by the commission.

Who Should Apply?
This recruitment may be suitable for qualified applicants who are available to work during the December 29, 2026 Oyo State local government elections.
Applicants should only select positions for which they meet the stated educational requirements.

Important Dates
- Application opens: October 5, 2026
- Application deadline: October 20, 2026

No. The positions are ad hoc roles, which means they are temporary appointments created specifically for the conduct of the local government elections.
Successful applicants should not treat the recruitment as permanent employment with OYSIEC or the Oyo State Government.
