8. Should I get my ballot sent to me by "email/online" or "fax" or "mail"?


We strongly recommend that overseas voters request their ballots be sent to them electronically; that is, either via email/online or fax. 

Remember this is the blank ballot coming to you, so there are no privacy concerns. Selecting electronic delivery means you will get your ballot almost immediately after it is sent to you. You don’t have to worry about the ballot being delayed or lost while coming in the mail. Particularly in countries with poor, slow, or non-existent mail service, receiving a blank ballot electronically can make the difference in getting your voted ballot returned by the election deadline.
