Is there early voting in your state?
Early voting requirements change state by state, and in some cases, county by county. Most states that offer early voting do not set limits on who can participate. However, if you are registered in Delaware, Kentucky, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, New York, South Carolina or Virginia you must have an official excuse. The following are among the most common requirements for early voting:
- absence from the county on election day;
- illness or physical disability;
- being an appointed election officer or poll worker at a polling place other than his or her own;
- working a required shift during polling hours on election day
- religious observance
