MS SB2055

Establishes different voter assistance rules for federal elections versus non-federal elections, with stricter requirements for non-federal elections.

For non-federal elections, voters requiring assistance due to blindness, disability, or inability to read or write may request help from two election officials, family members (mother, father, sister, brother, spouse, or child), or any other registered voter (excluding employers, union officers, candidates, and their associates).

Prohibits any non-election official from assisting more than 10 voters in an election, with an exception for family members who may assist unlimited voters.

Requires all persons providing voter assistance to complete and swear to a Declaration to Provide Assistance form, with specific language about offering accessible voting devices and marking preferences only as communicated by the voter.

Establishes penalties for violations including up to 5 years in prison and fines up to $5,000 for vote fraud, and requires submission of the act to the U.S. Attorney General for Voting Rights Act compliance.
