Non-English speaking voters, and voters who are blind, physically impaired, or otherwise incapable of marking a ballot, may bring a person, or if necessary two persons, of their choice with them to the poll, or before an election official, to assist the voters in casting their ballots. No person assisting the voter may be a candidate for office in that election, an immediate family member of a candidate for office in that election, the voter’s employer, an agent of the voter’s employer, or an officer or agent of the voter’s union. If an election official is requested, the election official shall assist the voter. If a person other than an election official is to provide assistance, the person must take an oath before an election official not to divulge how the voter cast the ballot. (Ord. 12-20 § 30, 2012; Ord. 01-16(SUB) § 12, 2001; prior code § 18.30.090)
