Local councils are legally obliged to publish a “NOTICE OF ELECTION AGENTS’ NAMES AND OFFICES” on their web site, which will look something like this

Election Agents’ office address:

There are rules/laws around where the Election Agent’s office address can be, essentially it must be in the local area, eg the county of Staffordshire (barring Stoke-on-Trent Council area), or in a Parliamentary constituency which is at least in part in the local area.  In the example where the local area is Staffordshire, as there aren’t any parliamentary constituencies which are part in Staffordshire, part in another county, essentially the election agent’s office will need to be in the county of Staffordshire.

(Note: the rules regarding where your Election Agent’s Office can be located are different for Parliamentary elections)

If you are acting as your own agent, unless you specify that your office address is somewhere other than your home address, your home address will be listed on the council web site as your election agent’s address (but only for a short period of time, and in a fairly obscure part of it. Someone would usually need to go looking for it to find it).

Candidates who are acting as their own agent, ie, are legally both the candidate and their Election Agent,

— may specify any address they wish as their Election Agent’s office address, as long as post can be sent there, and then forwarded on to them.  So using the example above, it could be someone they know who lives in Staffordshire, and would be prepared to have their address shown on the Notice of Election Agents Office Addresses, as posted on the council’s web site.

The Notice of Election Agents’ Office Addresses should be removed from the council’s web site once the petition deadline for the election has passed, or all the personal data should be removed from it:

The petition deadline is the deadline for challenging the result of an election, after the election has been held, and is normally set to 21 days,

— to reiterate, once this period has passed, the council is legally obliged to remove the Notice or all personal data therein:

So, in summary, if you are standing as a Reform UK candidate, you don’t need to find someone to act as your Election Agent in order to ensure that your home address is not publicised on the council’s web site for a short period of time, in the Notice of Election Agent’s Office Address, 

 – but you would need to find someone who is willing to have their address specified, either using Form 4 (Notification of an Election Agent),

— or by writing to the council and informing them.

This person will also need to agree to forward post on to you, should any be sent there (typically it’s a very small amount).  The address specified, their home or office address, will need to be in the county in which you are standing as a county council candidate though.
