Germany and Switzerland are presented as examples of countries with high public trust in mail-in voting, supported by strict regulations ensuring confidentiality and process oversight, such as allowing citizens to act as election observers. Mail-in voting is generally viewed as a democratic tool to increase participation for those unable to vote in person due to absence or location. While some political groups have attempted to undermine this system with disinformation, the established legal and administrative guarantees are considered sufficient by experts. In contrast, Spain has seen low mail-in voting participation despite having similar safeguards, while other countries like France abolished it due to past fraud concerns, opting for proxy voting instead. The text concludes that a reliable mail-in system requires not only robust mechanisms but also sustained tradition and political support.
