Voters can register, request and receive a ballot paper for a postal vote , then fill out the ballot paper and then submit it securely and reliably. This streamlined a 60 day process, the transaction now takes less than 5 minutes. After a voter fills in their ballot, the ballot is then printed out and returned for counting, but could also be easily and securely returned electronically to further streamline the process. Gant endorses and supports a nationwide deployment of iOASIS in the United States.
