Assistance with voting. Voters are entitled to be assisted when casting their ballots. Such assistance shall be provided by electoral commission members chosen by the voter or an assistant accompanying the voter to the polling station. Assistance shall only be given if the voter him- or herself can tell the person providing the assistance how the voter wishes to cast the ballot. The voter’s assistant must abide by the instructions of the voter and shall be bound by a duty of confidentiality not to disclose what passes between the assistant and the voter in the polling booth. A candidate, his or her spouse, children, siblings and parents are not permitted to assist with voting. A voter's assistant is not permitted to become an assistant to more than three voters in the same poll. After receiving the proposals of the National Electoral Commission, the Minister shall issue a regulation further providing for the conduct of voting assistance, such as electoral commissions’ training of assistants, how to record assistance provided in the log book, etc.
