EARLY VOTING vs. Mail-In ABSENTEE VOTING
All states offer voters the option of voting prior to the election. In some states, the ballots are returned by mail. This is referred to as absentee voting.
Other states permit voters to vote in person at the offices of county clerks or at other satellite voting locations. This is referred to asearly voting OR in-person absentee voting.
EARLY VOTING/In-Person ABSENTEE VOTING
More than half the states–31, to be exact–offer some sort of early voting. Early voting differs from absentee voting in that voters may visit an election official’s office or, in some states, other satellite voting locations, and cast a vote in person without offering an excuse for not being able to vote on Election Day. Satellite voting locations vary by state, and may include other county and state offices (besides the election official’s office), grocery stores, shopping malls, schools, libraries, and other locations.
Early voting generally is conducted on the same voting equipment used in the regular election, as opposed to absentee voting, which is conducted on mail-in paper ballots.
Early voting varies from state to state, and generally ends on the Friday or Saturday immediately preceding the election.
The following (31) states permit in-person early voting/in-person absentee voting.
