Are they allowing mail in voting

The availability of mail-in voting (also known as absentee voting) varies by state and even by election. In the United States, the rules and regulations surrounding mail-in voting are set by each state, and they can change from election to election.

In the 2020 presidential election, many states expanded their mail-in voting options due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, some states have stricter rules or limitations on mail-in voting.

Here are some general guidelines:

1. Some states allow mail-in voting for all voters: States like Oregon, Washington, and Colorado have automatic mail-in voting systems, where all registered voters receive a ballot by mail.
2. Some states allow mail-in voting for certain voters: States like California, New York, and Florida allow mail-in voting for voters who are:
   • 65 years or older
   • Disabled
   • Out of town on Election Day
   • Unable to vote in person due to a religious observance
   • Incarcerated
3. Some states require an excuse for mail-in voting: States like Texas, Georgia, and Ohio require voters to provide a valid excuse, such as being out of town on Election Day, to request a mail-in ballot.
4. Some states have limited mail-in voting options: States like Pennsylvania and Michigan have limited mail-in voting options, such as allowing voters to request a mail-in ballot for specific reasons, like being away from their polling station.

It's essential to check with your state's election office or website to determine the specific rules and deadlines for mail-in voting in your area. You can also check the National Association of Secretaries of State website for more information on mail-in voting laws by state.

Remember to always follow the rules and deadlines for mail-in voting to ensure your ballot is counted.
