2. Voters with disabilities: People who have physical disabilities or medical conditions that make it challenging to visit a polling place may need to use an absentee ballot. This ensures that they have an accessible method of voting from their preferred location.
3. Individuals unable to physically go to the polling place: Some voters may face limitations in their ability to visit a polling station, such as elderly individuals or those with mobility issues. In such cases, an absentee ballot allows them to vote without the need for physical presence.
