Nearly all states allow citizens who are NOT able to go to the polls due to business travel, to vote using which method?
Answers
The remaining 16 states use other methods to verify the identity of voters. Most frequently, other identifying information provided at the polling place, such as a signature, is checked against information on file. See NCSL’s Voter Verification Without ID Documents.
There are many ways through which a voter can vote when he or she is unable to attend the allotted polling station because of personal reasons like business travel or anything.
The method by which the states allow its citizens to vote apart from the official polling station is under the absentee ballot. Absentee ballot is a method that allows the citizens to vote at any cost from any where.
Some of the methods of voting that falls under the Absentee balloting are
- Voting at different polling station
- Proxy voting
- Postal voting
- Internet voting
Some countries like India have no Absentee Voting system.
