In Malaysia, any citizen can apply for the job. Also being paid. I worked as a worker once in the last election during the fall of Barisan Nasional. Luckily for me, the place of voting that I was placed in doesn't have many voters compare to other places so it's not tiring as it may seem. All in all, it was a fun experience one should get once in their lifetime.
I believe that is what Shintoism teaches.
