Absentee Ballot
Absentee Ballot is an elections or civic-participation term that helps explain how voters, candidates, campaigns, ballots, or election administration work.
Plain-English Meaning
In the Guide to Government, this term belongs to elections and participation. It is useful because government pages often use short legal or procedural labels, while visitors need to know who has authority, what document or decision to look for, and where to verify the official record.
