26.3.2025
Working as a vote counter or election official in regional and municipal elections is considered work related to performing a public duty, which differs from actual position of trust. Please note that fees paid for working as an election official or vote counter are, in principle, adjusted income, meaning that they reduce your daily allowance.
The fees are adjusted based on the payment date, meaning they are accounted for in the adjustment period in which the payment date falls. Therefore, remember to report the payment date or an estimate of it in your application.
