Agents


Each electoral list must be accompanied by a written declaration by the candidates on the list to the senior electoral commission indicating which two persons are the agents for the list. If the agents for the list are not identified or if they are prevented by necessity from fulfilling their role, then each of the two leading candidates on the list will be the proper agents for the list. These agents take care of the interests of the candidates on the electoral list when the lists are being reviewed and a ruling delivered concerning the list. The agents shall provide any such information concerning the lists that the senior electoral commission requests. They are entitled to attend or to grant a power of attorney to other persons to attend the election at individual polling stations and at the counting of votes. The agents are obligated to obey the meeting rules set by the electoral commission.
