For example, the recent case of a German citizen living in South Africa highlighted that ballot papers will be sent to registered postal voters only in the first week of February, whereas normally this is done six weeks ahead of election day. We suggest that countries should formally allow and facilitate postal voting for citizens living abroad via their country’s diplomatic missions and official courier services.
