Postal voting is a really bad idea for the following reasons. The ballot is no longer completely secret. Nothing to stop someone selling his/her vote. People might get intimidated or bribed into voting a certain way. The post can be intercepted. The authorites know who everyone voted for.

No reason to have it, apart from for people who actually can't get to a polling station.
