What it does
This bill relates to persons selected to assist certain voters in casting a ballot. Current law permits voters to request assistance in casting votes at the polling place if such voters are unable to cast their votes without assistance. Persons assisting such voters are either selected by the election board of each precinct or by the voter. The bill prohibits an election board or voter from selecting a person to assist the voter in casting a ballot who is a candidate on the ballot in that election. The bill also prohibits such persons from providing instructions concerning the manner of voting to voters requesting such assistance in a voting booth.
