If you are an American anyway. In some locals, you can ONLY vote by mail.
Now, in California, decades ago, you had to ask for this EVERY TIME - and you had to give some reason (I'm too lazy to go to the polls worked - ALL reasons were accepted as a matter of law) but you had to fill that out every time. But I think for as long as I've been alive, you can just ask the County Register of Voters to make you a permanent mail voter. Then, automatically, thte ballot is sent a month or so ahead and you just have to be sure it gets back to that County office on or before election day. About a third of Americans vote this way - about half in California - but the rules and proceedures vary by state and county.
I do have to pay for a stamp this way (TWO of 'em in this election!!!) but I want to take my time..... I want to be careful..... I want to do this at MY convenience rather than racing home from work and standing in a long line.... So I do it by mail.
