My country does have postal vote and I do trust it. This is how we run it:

- mail-in is limited to municipality buildings

- mail-in is limited to wednesday-thursday in a week leading up to the election day

- you can go to any municipality regardless of your legal address

- you have to show your ID to get voting papers

- election officials and community supervisors are present in voting hall

- votes are counted along with normal votes after polling station closes on sunday

I don't call that postal voting, but early voting. Entirely separate system.

Fair enough. Early voting does solve most (if not all) of the issues that pure postal voting solves though.

Yeah, and I don't have anything against it as custody of votes is clears as is who was the voter. On other hand systems where you just put ballot in regular mail or some box without oversight and verification is done by signature... No words...
