Absentee voters are people who cast ballots without appearing at their assigned polling place on election day.
They typically vote by mail or at early voting locations due to travel, illness, disability, or other circumstances that prevent in-person attendance.
The term appears frequently in discussions of election administration and voter access: Absentee voters must request their ballots in advance.
