ELECTORAL LAW ACT (NORTHERN IRELAND) 1962 - SECT 37

Default in appointing election agent.

37.(1) If no person's name and address are declared as required by section
thirty-four as the election agent of a candidate who remains validly nominated
at the latest time for delivery of notices of withdrawals, the candidate shall
be deemed at that time to have named himself as election agent and to have
revoked any appointment of another person as his election agent.

(2) If the person whose name and address have been so declared as those of the
candidate's election agent (not being the candidate himself) dies and a new
appointment is not made on the day of the death or on the following day, the
candidate shall be deemed to have appointed himself as from the time of the
death.

(3) If the appointment of a candidate's election agent is revoked without a
new appointment being made, the candidate himself shall be deemed to have been
appointed (or re-appointed) election agent.

(4) Where a candidate is by virtue of this section to be treated as his own
election agent, he shall be deemed to have his office at his address as given
in the statement as to persons nominated or, if that address is not in the
constituency or local government electoral area..., at the qualifying address
of the person named in that statement as his proposer.

(5) The returning officer on being satisfied that a candidate is by virtue of
this section to be treated as his own election agent, shall forthwith proceed
to publish the like notice as if the name and address of the candidate and the
address of his office had been duly given to him under sections thirty-four
and thirty-six.
