Early voting refers takes place in person before Election Day. Most states offer early voting at this point. You don’t need an excuse to vote early — you can vote early even if you are capable of voting at the polls on Election Day.
A handful of states will allow you to cast an absentee ballot in-person, as long as you have a valid excuse for not voting on Election Day. This is technically NOT early voting, although it does take place before Election Day. We call this “absentee in-person voting.”
