With the coronavirus pandemic threatening to disrupt in-person voting, election experts have urged Congress to mandate that every state make it easier to vote by mail and provide funding for it—and have asked state governments to take immediate action to expand access to mail voting in case Congress won’t.

While most states allow voters to request an absentee ballot for any reason, the states below still require a particular excuse to cast a mail ballot for the Nov. 2020 general elections, as shown on the map at the top of this story (see here for a larger version):

Alabama

Arkansas

Connecticut

Delaware

Indiana

Kentucky

Louisiana

Mississippi

Missouri

New York

South Carolina

Tennessee

Texas

West Virginia

Some of these states have recently taken steps to allow concern over coronavirus to count as a valid excuse to request an absentee ballot for upcoming primaries and local elections. They’ll need to do the same for the November general election, though it would be even better to eliminate the excuse requirement altogether.
