§ 1830Unlawful Assistance in Voting

Any elector
at any primary or election who shall allow his ballot or the
face of the voting machine voted by him to be seen by any person
with the apparent intention of letting it be known how he is
about to vote; or in districts in which ballots are used, shall
cast or attempt to cast any other than the official ballot which
has been given to him by the proper election officer; or who,
without having made the declaration under oath or affirmation
required by section 1218 of this act, or when the disability
which he declared before any registration commission no longer
exists, shall permit another to accompany him into the voting
compartment or voting machine booth, or to mark his ballot or
prepare the voting machine for voting by him; or who shall mark
his ballot or prepare the voting machine for voting while
another is unlawfully present in the voting machine compartment
or voting machine booth with him; or who shall state falsely
to any election officer that because of illiteracy he is unable
to read the names on the ballot or ballot labels or that by
reason of physical disability he cannot see or mark the ballot
or enter the voting compartment without assistance or that he
cannot see or operate the voting machine or enter the voting
machine booth without assistance; or who shall state, as his
reason for requiring assistance, a disability from which he
does not suffer; or any person who shall go into the voting
compartment or voting machine booth with another while voting
or be present therein while another is voting, or mark the
ballot of another or prepare the voting machine for voting with
another, except in strict accordance with the provisions of
this act; or any person who shall interfere with any elector
when inside the enclosed space or when marking his ballot, or
preparing the voting machine for voting, or who shall endeavor
to induce any elector before depositing his ballot to show how
he marks or has marked his ballot; or any person giving
assistance who shall attempt to influence the vote of the

elector whom he is assisting or who shall mark a ballot or
prepare a voting machine for voting in any other way than that
requested by the voter whom he is assisting, or who shall
disclose to anyone the contents of any ballot which has been
marked or any voting machine which has been prepared for voting
with his assistance, except when required to do so in any legal
proceeding, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and, upon
conviction thereof, shall be sentenced to pay a fine not
exceeding one thousand ($1,000) dollars, or to undergo an
imprisonment of not more than one (1) year, or both, in the
discretion of the court.
