Independent Electoral Commission 

RE: Regional Outreach Officer


Dear Director of Human Resources


I am writing to express my strong interest in the Regional Outreach Officer position at the Independent Electoral Commission (IEC). 


I have cultivated skills in analytical thinking, communication and influence, aligning perfectly with your organization's values of transparency, fairness, and integrity. I am confident that I am the employee you are seeking because I have all the experience in this specific job posting.  I honestly believe that this job is what I was meant to do, it is the perfect match for my skills, experience and interests.  

I am eager to leverage my background in designing and implementing community-focused initiatives to advance IEC's mission of promoting voter engagement and democratic principles. My professional journey has been driven by a deep commitment, and I have successfully built collaborative relationships with diverse stakeholders, enabling me to create and lead impactful outreach programs.  I am particularly drawn to the IEC's emphasis on ensuring compliance with electoral policies, and I am dedicated to contributing to the effectiveness and improvement of outreach campaigns.  

I am inspired by the opportunity to contribute to an organization that is a cornerstone of democratic integrity. I am confident that my service-orientated approach, combined with a robust foundation in public policy and communications, will be an asset to the IEC.  


As you can see in my CV, I have a gap in my employment history where I was unable to work because I moved to Koffiefontein in the Free State just after my marriage.


Thank you for considering my application. 


I look forward to the opportunity to discuss how I can further support the vital work of the Independent Electoral Commission.  


Sincerely yours,


Viola Ruiters
