18 October 2013 Postal voting describes the method of voting
in an election whereby ballot papers are
distributed or returned by post to electors, in
contrast to electors voting in person at a
polling station or electronically via an
electronic voting system.
It is of benefit to people who may not be able
to attend a polling station in person, either
through a physical disability or absence from
the locality. This method of voting is available
to voters upon application (sometimes with
restrictions) in statutory elections in many
democratic nations.
On the other hand, concerns about postal
voting have been raised as to whether it
complies with the requirements of a secret
ballot, in that people cast their vote outside
the security of a polling station, and whether
voters can cast their vote privately free from
another person's coercion.
