In a real representative democracy's, a 27% voter turnout would be considered a failure. A joke. And if a goodly percentage of that were postal votes, then no democracy at all.
Here's to blowing up pipelines to advance climatic change.

A real representative democracy would have a multi party system, to reflect the socio-economic system, an independent authority to draw up electorate boundaries and count the vote (without people with guns at ballot boxes), compulsory voting and every facility to enable pre and postal as well as on the day voting, sensible laws regarding political donations and funding, and political parties that prevented crooks and grifters and racists and fascists from running for office. For starters. America is not a representative democracy but an oligarchic binary political party Republic.

Where was the 27% you claim?
Many real democracies use postal votes - no problem.

puff:
The very first paragraph of the linked article eg the introduction. Comprehension is important in English is what I have thus far learnt.
Most democracies have easily accessible polling station, allowing absentee voting only to be utilised in certain circumstances ie common sense rather than laziness.
I just liked the bragging tone about the biggest turnout amongst young voters in thirty years. Whoopie doo.
