Number of polling agents permitted in polling station
3. The number of polling agents that may be admitted to a polling station in an electoral division under section 39(5) of the Act is to be calculated as follows:
(a)
where the electoral division is a group representation constituency — for every 1,000 (or, if there remains fewer than 1,000, that remaining number of) electors allotted to the polling station under section 36A(1)(c) of the Act, one polling agent for each group of candidates contesting the election in the electoral division;
(b)
in any other case — for every 1,000 (or, if there remains fewer than 1,000, that remaining number of) electors allotted to the polling station under section 36A(1)(c) of the Act, one polling agent for each candidate contesting the election in the electoral division.
