That was the opinion voiced last week by Attorney General Herbert S. Duffy, and now being announced to election boards by the secretary of state, Charles F. Sweeney.

Illiterate voters should receive the same assistance given others, Duffy ruled. The section mentioned says that any elector who declares to the pre siding judge he is unable to mark his ballot by reason of physical in firmity, and such physical infirmity is apparent to the judges to be suffi cient to incapacitate the voter from marking his ballot properly, may upon request be aided by a near relative or two judges of opposite political parties.
