Assistant 

There shall be a polling assistant assigned by the election board present at all polling stations, wearing distinctive marks or signs, who, on the request of a voter, assists him or her in marking the ballot.

A voter who wishes to use a member of the election board as an assistant in marking the ballot has the right to do so if this does not delay the voting process. In that case, the provisions on the polling assistant apply to the member of the election board.

A person whose ability to mark the ballot is essentially weakened may use the help of an assistant he or she has chosen in marking the ballot.

A candidate or his or her spouse, child, sibling or parent cannot act as a polling assistant or as an assistant chosen by the voter. A spouse refers to a married spouse, a domestic partner and a partner in a registered partnership.

The assistant shall conscientiously comply with the directions of the voter and keep secret the information received in connection to voting.
