Editing Postal voting (section)

==All-postal voting==
''All-postal'' voting is a form of postal voting in which all electors receive their ballot papers through the post, not just those who requested an absentee ballot. Depending on the country, electors may have to return their ballot papers by post or they may be allowed to deliver them by hand to specified drop-off locations. All-postal voting is used in [[Postal voting in the United States|several states in the United States]] and in [[Voting in Switzerland|Switzerland]], and was used in 2016 in the [[Australian Marriage Law Postal Survey]] as well as in four regions of the [[United Kingdom]] in the [[2004 European Parliament election]].

There is some evidence that all-postal voting leads to higher turnout than in-person voting or mail-in voting that requires voters to first request a ballot (rather than receive it automatically).<ref name="Thompson-Wu">{{Cite journal|last1=Thompson|first1=Daniel M.|last2=Wu|first2=Jennifer A.|last3=Yoder|first3=Jesse|last4=Hall|first4=Andrew B.|date=2020-06-09|title=Universal vote-by-mail has no impact on partisan turnout or vote share|journal=Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences |volume=117 |issue=25| pages=14052–14056 |language=en| doi=10.1073/pnas.2007249117 |pmid=32518108 |pmc=7322007|bibcode=2020PNAS..11714052T |issn=0027-8424|doi-access=free}}</ref>
