Assistance for blind, etc., voters
27.—(1)  The presiding officer or any person authorised by him may ask any overseas voter if the voter understands the method of voting in accordance with the Act and these Regulations and may, if he thinks fit, on the application of any voter, explain to the voter, in the presence of the polling agents of the candidates if present, the method of voting in accordance with the Act and these Regulations; but in so doing he shall carefully abstain from any action which might be construed by the voter as advice or a direction to vote for any candidate.
(2)  A presiding officer shall, on request by an overseas elector who is unable to vote in the manner prescribed by the Act or these Regulations because he is incapacitated by blindness or other physical cause, assist the overseas elector —
(a)by marking his choice on the ballot paper in accordance with the directions of the elector;
(b)by folding the ballot paper so as to conceal his vote; and
(c)by putting the ballot paper into the ballot box.
