Absentee ballot

An absentee ballot is an election process that allows registered voters to cast their vote without being physically present at their polling place on Election Day. Voters typically request an absentee ballot if they are unable to vote in person due to travel, health reasons, or other commitments. The ballot is sent to the voter by mail, filled out at their convenience, and then returned by mail or other approved methods before the deadline. Absentee voting helps ensure that more eligible voters can participate, regardless of their schedule or circumstances.
