Standing as a candidate at a local election

Appointment of Election Agent

Election Agents are responsible for the proper management of your election campaign; particularly its financial management and submission of candidate spending returns after the election.

Election Agent appointments can be revoked at any time. However, once an agent has signed their appointment, they cannot resign. This means they must fulfil the duties required of them unless you revoke the appointment.

You can act as your own agent and will default to this if the appointment form is not submitted by the deadline of 4pm on 5 April 2024.

If you act as your own agent and do not provide an office address, your home address will be published on the notice of election agents, even if you have requested for this information to be withheld from the statement of persons nominated, notice of poll and ballot paper.
