Illiterate or disabled voters.
Section 39
SEC. 39. Illiterate or disabled voters.—A registered voter who is illiterate or physically unable to prepare the ballot by himself may enlist the assistance of a relative within the fourth degree of consanguinity or the poll clerk of the citizens election committee or any public or private school teacher in the preparation of his ballot. The person thus chosen shall, before being allowed to assist the illiterate or disabled voter, bind himself in a formal document under oath to fill out the ballot strictly in accordance with the instructions of the voter and not to reveal the contents of the ballot prepared by him. Thereafter, he shall accompany the illiterate or disabled voter inside the voting booth and there proceed to prepare the ballot for the latter. No person shall be allowed to vote as an illiterate voter unless his voter's affidavit shows that he had registered himself as such. Other than those herein authorized, no government official or employee, elective or appointive, including barangay tanods and members of barangay brigades, may be allowed to assist illiterate or disabled voters to vote.
