The rules for absentee ballots vary by state. Even the use of the term varies from state to state. An absentee ballot is one cast by someone who cannot go to the polls on election day. Many absentee ballots are cast by mail. Some states offer early voting at select locations (usually election offices). In some countries, voters who cannot go to the polls can sign over their proxy to someone who they trust to vote the way they want.
