On the application the voter must indicate which of the four allowable reasons to request an absentee ballot after the deadline applies to them, as follows:

1. Unexpected absence from the municipality during the entire time the polls are open on Election Day; or
2. Physical Disability; or
3. Incapacity or illness that has resulted in the voter being unable to leave home or a treatment facility; or
4. Inability to travel to the polls if the voter is a resident of a coastal island ward or precinct.
