early ballot
Pre-election day submission
An early ballot is a ballot cast before election day, either by mail or at a designated early voting location.
The term is most common in states like Arizona where early voting is widespread: I dropped off my early ballot at the county recorder's office.
Also called an absentee ballot or mail-in ballot, though these terms have slightly different connotations depending on jurisdiction.
