What is the difference between absentee voting and mail-in voting?
"The voter has to apply for an absentee ballot and if their application is approved they receive a ballot," she explains."In what is known as 'Universal Mail-in Ballot states' all registered voters receive a ballot automatically."States such as Oregon, Washington, California and Hawaii have a universal mail-in ballot system, meaning that the majority, if not all, of the counties will send out voter ballots to residents if they are registered to vote.
So while not all U.S. states have a mail-in ballot system, all states have absentee ballots. This means a ballot can be requested by a registered voter if they cannot attend in person on election day. Reasons for this sort of vote include:Being a student living outside of the countyServing as an election worker or poll watcherBeing in prison but still able to voteSome states allow for these types of ballots without a reason, known as a no-excuse absentee ballot.
