Absentee ballots
Ballots are official voting forms used to cast votes in an election. They list the candidates or choices for a particular office or issue, and voters select their preferred option by filling in a corresponding space or box on the ballot. Once completed, ballots are typically collected and counted to determine the outcome of the election.
