Devon Villacampa, Election Coordinator with Edison Research is looking for interested Communications students for a paid gig on March 5. Here are the details:
“I am reaching out to you looking for interested Communications students and faculty to work for our company reporting election results for the upcoming Tennessee Primary Election on March 5th, 2024. Edison Research is the firm that collects the vote totals on Election Night for the National Election Pool, which consists of ABC, CBS, CNN, and NBC.
The job would require an individual to report to a local County Elections Office and call in to our offices to report the vote totals as they are released on Election Night. I have a convenient location available in Nashville, Tennessee reporting for Davidson County. The job would be for Election Night only, on the evening of Tuesday, March 5th. The position pays $85. Essentially, any punctual and responsible individual would be a good fit for this position.
We will be operating within the safety guidelines that county and state officials have implemented for election night. I wanted to extend this opportunity to Belmont University students who are interested in the electoral system or wanted some extra income. Communications students have been a big help in our reporting efforts in past elections.
If you would like to pass along more information about our company and its role in elections since 2004, most of my reporters find the following article very informative.
If you happen to know a student who would be a good fit for this job, feel free to have them email me at dvillacampa@edisonresearch.com with their name and a good contact number. I would be happy to review the position with them, and if you have any questions please feel free to call or email!”
