Appointing or changing political party agents

Appointing or changing political party agents

Agents play an important role in elections as they are responsible for ensuring a registered political party’s obligations under the Electoral Act 1992 are met. Political parties must appoint an agent after becoming registered. An agent must be an adult, consent to their appointment and declare their eligibility to act as an agent. Political parties have 28 days to appoint a new or replacement agent.
