What are the requirements for absentee voting?

In Arkansas, absentee voting allows people who are unable to vote on election day due to their age, health, employment, or military service to cast their ballot. In order to vote absentee, the voter must meet certain criteria. The voter must be a registered voter and have an Arkansas drivers license or ID card. The voter must apply for an absentee ballot, which is available in person or online. Once the absentee ballot is obtained, the voter must fill it out and return it by the deadline, which is usually 7 days before the election. The absentee ballot must also be witnessed by two people as specified on the ballot. In order to be eligible for absentee voting, a voter must also meet certain specific criteria. For example, a voter may not be absent from their county of residence on election day, or they may be unable to attend due to illness or disability. All absentee ballots must be postmarked by the date of the election, and any ballots received after the deadline will not be counted. It is important for Arkansas voters to be aware of the absentee voting requirements, and to make sure they return their absentee ballots in time to be counted.
