Section 14282 Of Article 4. Issuing Ballots And Voting From California Elections Code >> Division 14. >> Chapter 3. >> Article 4.
14282
. (a) When a voter declares under oath, administered by any
member of the precinct board at the time the voter appears at the
polling place to vote, that the voter is then unable to mark a
ballot, the voter shall receive the assistance of not more than two
persons selected by the voter, other than the voter's employer, an
agent of the voter's employer, or an officer or agent of the union of
which the voter is a member.
(b) No person assisting a voter shall divulge any information
regarding the marking of the ballot.
(c) In those polling places that are inaccessible under the
guidelines promulgated by the Secretary of State for accessibility by
the physically handicapped, a physically handicapped person may
appear outside the polling place and vote a regular ballot. The
person may vote the ballot in a place that is as near as possible to
the polling place and that is accessible to the physically
handicapped. A precinct board member shall take a regular ballot to
that person, qualify that person to vote, and return the voted ballot
to the polling place. In those precincts in which it is impractical
to vote a regular ballot outside the polling place, vote by mail
ballots shall be provided in sufficient numbers to accommodate
physically handicapped persons who present themselves on election
day. The vote by mail ballot shall be presented to and voted by a
physically handicapped person in the same manner as a regular ballot
may be voted by that person outside the polling place.
