'''Early voting''' refers to extending voting over many days, and even weeks, and allow people to mail-in ballots rather than show up in person on election day without having to provide a valid excuse.  A January 2014 report by the President's Commission on Election Administration stated, "In order to limit congestion on Election Day and to respond to the demand for greater opportunities to vote beyond the traditional Election Day polling place, states that have not already done so should expand alternative ways of voting, such as mail balloting and in-person early voting."<ref>[http://electionlawblog.org/wp-content/uploads/pcea-final-report.pdf The American Voting Experience: Report and Recommendations of the Presidential Commission on Election Administration], p. 3</ref>  The report further described a "bipartisan consensus of election administrators in favor of voting before Election Day".<ref>[http://electionlawblog.org/wp-content/uploads/pcea-final-report.pdf The American Voting Experience: Report and Recommendations of the Presidential Commission on Election Administration], p. 57</ref>
