Early Voting ⓘ

A period before Election Day during which voters can cast their ballots in person at designated polling locations. The length of the early voting period varies by state.

In-person early voting available at county election offices 30 days before election.

Mail-In / Absentee Voting ⓘ

A voting method where ballots are automatically mailed to all registered voters without requiring a specific request. States that use this approach conduct elections primarily or entirely by mail.

No-excuse early (absentee) voting by mail available for all registered voters.

Felony Voting Rules ⓘ

State laws governing whether and when people with felony convictions can vote. Policies range from no restrictions to permanent disenfranchisement, with most states restoring rights at some point after sentencing.

Rights restored immediately upon completion of sentence, including any parole term. The previous 2-year waiting period was eliminated by LB20 in 2024.
