183. An elector who declares under oath or solemnly affirms that he is unable to mark his ballot paper himself by reason of an infirmity or because he cannot read, may be assisted by either the deputy returning officer or the poll clerk in the presence of the candidates or their representatives, or by an elector from the same school board who declares under oath or solemnly affirms that he has not assisted another elector during the polling and that he will not disclose the name of the candidate for whom the elector has voted in his presence. In either case, an indication of the fact is made in the poll book.

Where the vote takes place in the presence of the candidates or their representatives, they are required to declare under oath or solemn affirmation that they will not reveal the name of the candidate for whom a person has voted in their presence.
