Increasing postal voting rates necessitate review of its purpose and campaign timelines
Conclusion
Postal voting now makes up a significant proportion of votes cast at elections and there is every possibility that the proportion of people voting in this way will continue to increase. There needs to be consideration given to what the purpose and timelines for postal voting should be since it allows people to vote at a different point in the campaign than polling day. (Conclusion, Paragraph 102)
