The evidence provided is relevant as it focuses on alternative voting options for those who cannot make it to the polls on Election Day. However, the evidence is not sufficient as it only mentions two voting options and does not cover all possible alternatives, such as absentee voting or provisional ballots. Therefore, the claim is somewhat convincing but could be strengthened with additional examples of voting alternatives.
