This method means voters cannot select individuals. Belgium has three constituencies, defined along language lines. The others are all geographical: 13 in Poland, 12 in Britain, five in Italy and three in Ireland.Sixteen countries allow voting by post, in most cases for the benefit of citizens living abroad.Six countries allow proxy voting in which a person can ask someone else to vote on their behalf.
