Can a partially physically disabled voter cast an absentee ballot with the assistance of a third party?

California, United States of America

The following excerpt is from Wilks v. Mouton, 229 Cal.Rptr. 1, 42 Cal.3d 400, 722 P.2d 187 (Cal. 1986):

Two Court of Appeal opinions recognize that absentee ballots validly may be cast in the presence of or with the assistance of third parties. In Fair v. Hernandez (1981) 116 Cal.App.3d 868, 172 Cal.Rptr. 379, the court refused to invalidate two absentee votes cast with the assistance of family members, when the voters were partially physically disabled. The court held that the statutory restrictions on who may provide assistance to disabled voters at polling places do not apply to absentee voting.
