Design association AIGA explains "U.S. Election administration is decentralized, and ballot production is managed by election officials at state, county, and local levels," but more importantly "ballots must accommodate national, state, county, and extremely local content."

This depends upon the voting laws of each state. In general though, the local election board or commission will have forms a voter can complete to request an absentee ballot.

Is there a limit to how many Presidential candidates are allowed on the National election ballot?

There is no national election ballot-- each state prints their own ballots. I do not think any state has a stated limit on the number of candidates, but it is fairly difficult to get put on the ballot . In my state of VA, a petition signed by 10,000 legal residents must be filed by a stated deadline and there must be at lease 500 signatures from each congressional district. simple answer...no
