General Election Agent Courses

New rules introduced by the Electoral Commission require ALL agents at the next General Election must have passed an accredited one day training course.

This applies equally to experienced agents and new agents.

There are official courses provided by the Liberal Democrats taking place at various places across the UK in the lead up to Spring Conference. The events are free to attend. You need to register in advance and if you do not attend once registered you will be liable to pay the £50 cost of your training.

A list of dates and locations is below. Click on the link to sign up to one near you. Please note these are the last General Election Agent Courses before the local elections in May. They are in person unless specified otherwise.

All General Election Agents must complete one of these courses. Without an accredited Agent, candidates will not be able to stand. The Liberal Democrats will not be running any more training sessions after Spring Conference. Please sign up now!
