Examples of absentee in a Sentence

1. Kathy Boockvar:

   We are directly reaching out to the counties that are being indicated as not planning to count. We are also reaching out to all of the counties to explain why this matters, even if you can only do part to get started as early as humanly possible on Election Day matters, for every single county of any size. But certainly the more mail-in and absentee ballots they have, the more Election Day matters.

2. County Commissioner Hausmann:

   I'll tell you where the biggest breakdown was, in my opinion, was how long it took us to process the absentee ballot applications, folks had gotten those application request forms six to eight weeks ago. And so when they weren't getting a response, and they couldn't find out what had happened to their request, they didn't have faith that they could reply in time if they even got it.

3. Al Schmidt:

   In Philly, we set out and voted on a procedure complying with the Pennsylvania election code for how to challenge those mail-in ballots whether they are absentee ballots or regular mail-in ballots and as of close of business today, we did not receive a challenge to any of them.

4. Catherine Lewis:

   The voter in question properly applied for an absentee ballot, provided her state-issued driver's license with Donna Brydges application, and returned Donna Brydges absentee ballot in the properly signed and sealed envelope as required by state law, the board of election inspectors, consisting of Republican and Democratic members, had no question that the voter was who she purported to be or that her signatures matched.

5. Ben Wikler:

   Extending the deadline for absentee ballots to be received would make a huge difference. Extending the window for courts to be able to count ballots would help make this election work. Removing the requirement to get a witness when you file your absentee ballot is common sense.
