• A candidate, his or her spouse, children, siblings and parents are not permitted to assist with voting.


• A voter's assistant is not permitted to become an assistant to more than three voters in the same poll.


• After receiving the proposals of the National Electoral Commission, the Minister shall issue a regulation further providing for the conduct of voting assistance, such as electoral commissions’ training of assistants, how to record assistance provided in the log book, etc.
