The Elections Department (ELD) has started calling on public servants to start their training to be election officials.
The deadline for the election is January 2017.
It is understood that several teachers have received letters informing them that they have been identified as election officials and told that they must complete an online training module and an in-person training shortly.
The ELD confirmed that they have started to prepare election officials but they also shared that this is actually an ongoing practice where they select and train public officers to perform election duties.
They left it ambiguous as to whether they had just started stepping up the preparation efforts.






Some of the election official roles include overseeing voting at polling stations.
In the 2006 selection, public servants were called up for training about 18 months before the election while for the 2011 elections, public officers started training up to 31 months before the elections.
It is yet unknown when the government plans to hold the next election but it is clear that some of the preparatory work has started.
