Full text of Guam Guam Code Annotated § 9136 — Assistance to Voter., with citation guidance and answers to common questions.
§ 9136. Assistance to Voter.
(a) A voter may request assistance in voting to the precinct board, and assistance shall be granted
thereby only if a voter is blind, physically disabled, or unable to read or write.
(b) If a voter is granted assistance, the voter shall be accompanied into the voting booth by one (1)
precinct official and another person designated by the voter. If a voter with a physical disability finds it
unduly burdensome to enter the polling place, the ballot may be completed within one hundred (100) feet
of the polling place. A precinct official shall read the ballot to the voter who shall indicate his or her choices.
Such choices shall be properly marked by the attending precinct official while under the observation of the
other person designated by the voter. Any registered voter who enters the public grounds containing the
polling place, but for some reason is unable to enter the polling place itself, and who is capable of reading
and marking the ballot without assistance, shall be given the opportunity to vote. The Commission shall
determine other appropriate rules and regulations necessary to ensure the voter’s privacy and protect the
integrity of any ballot. Such rules and regulations shall be outlined in the Election Manual.
(c) Any member of a precinct board rendering assistance to a voter is hereby prohibited from revealing
any of the votes cast by such voter.
