Paragraph 25
 

“Postal voting” is a (traditional) means of remote voting. It includes the transmission of the vote cast by ordinary mail. Where the word “postal voting” is used in domestic legal systems of Council of Europe member states for voting in Polling stations in a post office, this is in fact a form of remote voting in a supervised area. Therefore the term “supervised voting in post offices” is used for this form of “postal voting”. According to terminology used here, the use of the mobile ballot (which exists for example in Azerbaijan) is not considered as a form of remote voting in a supervised environment.
