ELECTORAL LAW ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1962 - SECT 34

34.(1) Not later than the latest time for the delivery of notices of
withdrawals for an election, a person shall be named by or on behalf of each
candidate as the candidate's election agent, and the name and address of the
candidate's election agent shall be declared in writing by the candidate or
some other person on his behalf to the returning officer not later than that
time.

(2) A candidate may name himself as election agent, and thereupon shall, so
far as circumstances admit, be subject to the provisions of this Act both as a
candidate and as an election agent, and, except where the context otherwise
requires, any reference in this Act to an election agent shall be construed as
referring to the candidate acting in his capacity of election agent.

(3) One election agent only shall be appointed for each candidate, but the
appointment, whether the election agent appointed be the candidate himself or
not, may be revoked.

(4) If whether before, during or after the election the appointment of an
election agent is revoked or an election agent dies, another election agent
shall be appointed forthwith and his name and address declared in writing to
the returning officer.

(5) Upon the name and address of an election agent being declared to the
returning officer, the returning officer shall forthwith give public notice of
that name and address.
