Paragraph 13

Section 68 (nomination of sub-agent at parliamentary election for a county constituency) shall be amended as follows.

In subsection (1) (appointment of sub-agent for part of constituency)—

In subsection (2) (powers, acts and defaults of the sub-agent), after “constituency”, in each place where it occurs, there shall be inserted “ or electoral area ”.

After subsection (4) (vacation or revocation of appointment of sub-agent) there shall be inserted—

“(4A)

Where a registered political party submits a list of candidates to be London members of the London Assembly at an ordinary election—

(a)

the election agent for those candidates must, if he appoints a sub-agent for any part of the electoral area in the case of any of those candidates, appoint the same person as sub-agent for that part of the electoral area in the case of all of the candidates; and

(b)

any such appointment may only be revoked in respect of all of the candidates.”

In subsection (5) (declaration to specify the part of the constituency for which the sub-agent is appointed) after “constituency” there shall be inserted “ or electoral area ”.

The sidenote to the section accordingly becomes “Nomination of sub-agent at parliamentary or Authority elections.”
