(1) Each political party may nominate a number of persons equal to the number of electoral divisions that are being contested by it to act as district co-ordinators for it and such persons are in this Act referred to as district agents.
(2) The district agents shall represent the party nominating them with the Commission in the district to which they are appointed and for this purpose shall have access to the Commissioners at all times and shall have the right, notwithstanding any other provision of this Act to the contrary, to accompany any Commissioner into any polling place or polling booth for the purpose of determining any matter that may arise during voting:
Provided that a district agent may not so accompany a Commissioner unless a district agent of another party is also present.
(3) Unless exceptionally authorised to do so by any Commissioner, in no case may a district agent interrogate any person lawfully entrusted by the Commission to carry out any duty during the elections or to seek information from them nor may they without such authorisation interrogate any voter.
(4) Political parties exercising the right granted to them by subsection (1) of this section shall forward a list to the Commission containing the names, addresses and identity card numbers of the persons nominated by them as district agents not later than the clay appointed for the nomination of Assistant Commissioners in terms of section 57 of this Act.
