Article 23
 

Each list of candidates sent to a presiding election board must be accompanied by a written notification from the candidates on the list of two persons who shall be the list's agents. If no agents are specified for a list or an agent is detained by urgent matters, any of the candidates for a regular councillor's seat may serve as its agents. These agents shall safeguard the interests of those lists they represent when the lists are examined and ruled upon. They shall provide information concerning the lists at the request of the presiding election board. They may themselves be present, or appoint others to attend in their stead, when elections take place at the individual polling stations and at the vote counting. Agents are obliged to abide by the rules of procedure adopted by election boards.
