In CoE member states which allow some degree of voting by citizens residing permanently or temporarily abroad, the modalities of voting differ: Most common are postal voting and/or voting in person at embassies and consulates. Additionally, or alternatively, proxy voting (e.g. Belgium, France, and the Netherlands) or online voting (e.g. Estonia) is allowed. In any case, safeguards must be implemented to ensure the integrity of the vote, and voting procedures should be available for all eligible voters.
