If so, you’re an absolute hero. The job of agent, keeping the candidate and campaign on the right side of the law, recording donations and making the returns to the Electoral Commission is essential. It’s hard work and it doesn’t end on polling day. I feel like we need to appreciate those who act as agents more.
For this coming election, all election agents need to be certified by the Party as required by the Electoral Commission. This is a really good thing as it means that every agent will have been through training and will know where to get help should they need it during the campaign. It also makes the job a lot less scary if you feel that you have the right tools at your disposal.
One or two day courses are being run all over the country in the next few months. I’ve signed up for one in, I think, November in Scotland.
It’s really important that every local party identifies who is going to be their agent soon and signs them up for a course.
