Every Borough ward candidate must be nominated on a separate nomination paper which must be subscribed by a proposer and seconder and eight asentors who must all be local government electors for the ward and their electoral registration numbers must be given. Every Parish candidate's nomination paper must be subscribed by a proposer and seconder only.  The nomination paper must give the full names and home address of the candidate.

9. Every Borough candidate must appoint an election agent.  (Parish candidates do not require an agent). The appointment must show their address and also the address to which claims and other documents may be sent. This latter address must be within the area of the authority or an adjoining borough or district. If no appointment is made the candidate is deemed to be their own election agent.
