    Eligible voters are permitted to vote by sealed envelope ballot if they are unable to go in person to a voting station due to a disability (including health risks), are providing care to a person who is unable to leave their home, or expect that on By-Election Day and the day or days of advance voting, they will be absent from their local authority, or, at a location so significantly distant from their voting location that it is not reasonably possible to vote in person.
