If
You Need Help Voting
If you need help to vote, you may
ask the Presiding Election Official
(PEO)
in charge
at the voting
place to assist
you. You may also bring someone
with you to the voting place to
help you vote. This person must
make a solemn declaration to preserve
the secrecy
of your
ballot, to mark
the ballot according
to your wishes and to not attempt
to influence how you vote.
If
you are unable to enter the voting place, you may ask to
receive
and
mark your ballot
at a place
located
outside
the
voting place. It will be necessary
for you to bring someone with
you who can
advise the election
officials
that you
need help outside the voting
place.
