Comment : | After reviewing the Glossary for Voting Systems (Draft) I have the following comments: Absentee Ballot is too loosely defined to the extent the definition would include all voting done outside the regular polling place. Absentee Ballots are those cast prior to Election Day because the voter will be absent from the polling place on that day. Every state does not have early voting; your definition includes early voting as absentee voting.
