Identification of chief election agents and election agents as submitted by candidates 50. The Electoral Act provides that a candidate may appoint a chief elections agent, who may in turn appoint election agents. These names of such persons must be presented to the First Respondent before, on or after nomination day but not later than seven days before polling day. There is no doubt that election agents are key individuals in relation to the transparency of an election, such that the Applicants, the Second Applicant’s beneficiaries and every voter must be kept aware of the persons who are election agents on Election Day. 51. In the interest of transparency, I contend that the First Respondent is under an obligation to ensure that all election agents are clearly identifiable on Election Day. In that light, the Applicants will move for an order that in terms of sections 156 (a) and section 239 (a) of the Constitution, the First Respondent has a legal duty ensure that election agents are identifiable on Election Day by way of providing lanyard identity (ID) cards to election agents to be worn on Election Day. 23
