absentee voting
Casting ballots remotely
Absentee voting is casting a ballot without appearing at a polling place on election day, typically by mail.
Voters may request absentee ballots due to travel, illness, disability, or other circumstances preventing in-person voting.
Some jurisdictions require an excuse; others allow any registered voter to vote absentee: She submitted her absentee voting application weeks before the election.
