When I applied online for a postal vote for the recent Austrian poll I
received (by snailmail via the Nagoya Oz consulate) ballot papers
within 72 hours. I've never bothered to vote in Irish elections, so I
have no other comparison. Can you think of any reason why sepponia
would need a system for those who had applied and yet hadn't received
papers after 30 days? Or why a "back-up"/FWAB system would be
necessary in the first place? And FWIW, while I know that people such
as yourself have your shit together, but for the Shannons of the
sepponian world what is the problem?
