Recommendation 46
46
Automatically send postal votes to all registered overseas voters as an interim measure.
Conclusion
While these and other options are being considered, we agree with the Electoral Commission that, as an interim measure, all overseas voters that are registered should automatically receive a postal vote, meaning they would have to actively apply to vote by another means, i.e. in person or by proxy. (Recommendation, Paragraph 121)
