# The National Assembly for Wales (Representation of the People) Order 1999, Article 36: Making of contracts through election agent


(1) At an Assembly election the election agent for an individual candidate or a group of party list candidates shall appoint every polling agent, clerk and messenger employed for payment on behalf of the candidate or those candidates at that election, and hire every committee room hired on behalf of such candidate or candidates.
(2) A contract by which any election expenses are incurred shall not be enforceable against an individual candidate or group of party list candidates at the election unless made—
(a) by the candidate himself or by his election agent, or
(b) by any or all of the candidates themselves or by their election agent,
but this paragraph does not relieve such candidate or candidates from the consequences of any corrupt or illegal practice having been committed by his or their agent.
(3) The references in this article to an election agent shall be taken as references to the election agent acting by himself or by a sub-agent.
