Section 17-16-27

Assistance to illiterate or disabled voters.

If a qualified elector is unable to read the English language or is so physically disabled that he cannot cast his ballot and requests assistance in preparing his ballot, the inspector shall swear him as to such disability, and thereupon said voter may have the assistance of any person he may select. Each elector, in preparing his ballot, shall prepare the same in the room or place where such election is being held, and not elsewhere.
