(1) A voter who is illiterate or who is prevented by a disability from marking or folding  the ballot paper or putting it in the ballot box designates another person whose assistance  he or she wishes to receive in order to cast his or her vote and communicates this to the  Electoral Board. The person rendering assistance may also be a member of the Electoral  Board designated by the voter.

(2) Such support is limited to practical assistance in communicating an electoral  decision which has been taken by the person eligible to vote. Such assistance is  inadmissible in cases where an abusive influence is exercised while the assistance is  rendered, where it replaces or alters the self-determined development of opinion or  decision taken by the person eligible to vote or where there is a conflict of interest for the  person rendering assistance.

(3) The person rendering assistance may enter the polling booth together with the voter  if necessary. He or she is bound to secrecy in respect of any information obtained about  another person’s vote while rendering assistance.

(4) A blind or visually impaired voter may also use a tactile voting device to mark the  ballot paper.
