United Kingdom has gone to the extent that if somebody on the date of elections is travelling outside the country, he can go to the returning officer before his travel, take a proxy form and authorise somebody else. It is because it is not something which you are compulsorily imposing upon another person, it is a voluntary exercise of that proxy. So, if the person who has a right to cast his vote voluntarily decides that I do not want the postal ballot, I do not want to go myself, I am 2,000 kilometres away, I am authorising my father or my son or my daughter or my wife and I trust them that they would cast their vote according to the principle, this is the principle on which the proxy voting has been given.
