Yes. Everything seems to be very simple but I cannot see how that can happen. There will be many issues. There will also be personation. If ballot papers are to be downloaded in a house where there are four or five votes and the people concerned are missing or are overseas, one person in the house can download all the papers and send them in. There will be a great deal of personation. Many angles and issues have not been teased out in this regard. There is no personation when one must go to a polling station, get the ballot paper from a presiding officer or polling clerk, put one's mark on it and put it in a box.

I cannot stand over the cost of this anyway.
