Typically, and my colleague may be able to confirm, the elector asks their immediate relative or their friend that they would like their help, because they are a trusted person. The elector is assured that that person is not going to share how they voted in the ballot box or influence them in any way. They do seek the person close to them to have that assistance at the ballot box. It is possible that someone goes and proactively asks, “Would you like my help?”, but the elector would likely have someone in mind close to them, like their personal support worker or a friend or relative to help them mark their ballot if needed.
