S.B. No. 62 amends the Election Code to allow a child under the age of 14 to read or mark a ballot at the direction of their parent while accompanying them to a voting station. This provision clarifies that such actions do not constitute assisting a voter, which is relevant for compliance with election laws.

The bill aims to enhance the voting experience for families by permitting younger children to engage in the voting process under parental guidance. The changes will take effect on September 1, 2025, if passed.
