Postal voting

Postal voting is a way you can vote in an election without going to the polling station. With postal voting, you get a ballot paper sent to your house by the government. You then mark your ballot paper, put it in an envelope, and post it back to the government. The government then counts your vote and adds it to the election results. It's like you are voting at a polling station, but from the comfort of your home!
