If your election agent dies or you revoke their appointment at any time, including after polling day, a notification of the new appointment can be made in the same way as outlined in our guidance on Appointing an election agent.1
If you do not appoint anyone else, you will be deemed to be your own election agent.
If you are acting as your own agent you can revoke your own appointment and appoint someone else as your agent.
Once an agent has accepted their appointment, they cannot resign and must fulfil the duties required of them unless you revoke their appointment.
