Guidance for Candidates and Agents at Police and Crime Commissioner elections

Who can attend the verification and count?

You and your election agent are entitled to attend the verification and count for any of the voting areas in the police area.1 You and your election agent are also entitled to attend the calculation of the result for the police area.2  

Additionally, you can invite one other person to attend these proceedings and may also appoint agents specifically to attend these proceedings on your behalf.3

A sub-agent is entitled to attend in place of an election agent, but only if the proceedings relate to the area to which they have been appointed to act.4  

You should ensure that you and all your attendees comply with any instructions given by the LRO or PARO.

For details on how to appoint agents, see Appointing your counting agents.
