Definition(s)

  • THE GENESIS OF voting by mail dates back to the 1700s when landowners whose homes were vulnerable to attack from Native Americans were allowed to vote absentee. In 1857, only Oregon made it possible for men away from home to vote. [Source: Encyclopedia of U.S. Campaigns, Elections, and Electoral Behavior; Vote by Mail]
