Absentee Voting Restrictions: Requiring Excuses and Identity Sworn Statements.
This law establishes strict new rules for absentee voting in federal elections. Citizens must provide a specific, approved reason—such as illness, disability, caregiving duties, or occupational conflict—to qualify for a mail-in ballot. Additionally, the application must include a sworn written statement verifying the voter's identity and must be submitted by noon on the Friday before Election Day.
