Based on the reports from the 30 Council of Europe member States which participated a great majority of the group of experts for Integrated Project 1 “Making Democratic Institutions Work”, we can define a “European standard” as follows. First of all, a distinction has to be made between remote voting in a supervised environment and remote voting in a non supervised environment, and above all voting by mail. The first form of remote voting forms is a common feature of a great majority of Council of Europe Member States. The second form is less common and subject to many national peculiarities subject to traditions in voting systems.
