There are 676 positions available in the Whitlam electorate, 829 positions available in the Hume electorate and 819 positions available in the Eden Monaro electorate.
AEC State Manager for NSW, Rebecca Main, said working at an election was a great way to earn extra money and contribute to the community.
"The federal election is around one month away. Temporary election work is paid and no election experience is required - we'll give you all the training and support you need," Ms Main said.
"We've got more than 32,600 jobs in NSW and there are over 100,000 temporary positions throughout Australia, with jobs still available in most electoral divisions.
"We want to have people working at polling places who reflect our diverse population, so we welcome registrations of interest from everyone - including people who speak a language in addition to English, Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people, and people with a disability.

"While most of the jobs are on election day itself, some are in the weeks before and after election day."
"We'll have a number of COVID-19 safety measures in place to help keep voters and our workers safe."
"I encourage people to visit aec.gov.au and register interest today, as letters of offers are currently being issued. It's an opportunity to get paid to have a front row seat to see democracy in action."
