Community Relations Officer – Indigenous
Community relations officers (CROs) are appointed in electoral districts (EDs) where electors in certain target groups, known to face barriers to registering and voting, represent a significant portion of the population. The CRO facilitates communication between the returning officer (RO) and/or additional assistant returning officer (AARO) office and the target group, thereby making voting as accessible as possible to that population.
Ideally, CROs are members of the community. When this is not possible, the CRO needs to be someone who understands the history, culture and needs of the target group they serve.
The CRO–Indigenous is appointed in EDs with a First Nations, Inuit or Métis population. They are appointed by and report directly to the RO or their delegate (i.e., assistant returning officer, AARO or service point supervisor). Depending on the circumstances at the time of the general election, advance or ordinary polling places might not be set up in some Indigenous communities. A CRO who is appointed to liaise with electors in one of these communities may be asked to coordinate and provide special ballot voting support to electors on behalf of their RO/AARO office.
In addition to holding information sessions and distributing information materials, attending Indigenous cultural events is a good way to inform Indigenous electors about the voting process. At the same time, the CRO–Indigenous can identify potential Indigenous resources from each community to work as service agents (SAs) and poll workers, including Elders and youth who could work as part of the Indigenous Elder and youth Program. The CRO–Indigenous can help organize registration events at band offices and can also work with Indigenous health offices to determine ways to make polling day easier for electors with disabilities.
