An election agent may appoint a sub-agent to act on their behalf in any part of the constituency.1
The office address of the sub agent must be in either:2
the Senedd constituency in which the election is held or an adjoining Senedd constituency
a county or county borough which is partly comprised in or adjoins the Senedd constituency3
A sub-agent can do anything that the election agent is entitled to do within the area to which they are appointed.4
They may attend the opening of postal votes, the verification, count and/or calculation of the result where these are taking place within the area in which they have been appointed to act and they are acting in place of the election agent.
The election agent must declare to you, in writing, the name, address and office address of the sub-agent they have appointed by 2 working days before the day of the poll.5
You should include forms for the notification of appointment of sub-agents in your nomination packs.
You can find nomination packs in the agents section of our resource page.
The election agent can revoke the appointment of a sub-agent at any time. If a sub-agent dies or has their appointment revoked the election agent may appoint a new-sub agent by declaring in writing the name, address, office address of the new sub-agent to you.6
Once the name, address, office address and area of appointment of a sub-agent have been declared, you must give public notice of these details.7
The notice must specify the part of the Senedd constituency in which the sub-agent is appointed to act.
