Postal Ballet: Currently available for consulate/embassy personnel. Though it sounds like a good option, extending to the NRIs is practically very tedious and next to impossible. It takes long time for Election commission to extend to mail ballots to NRIs.
Internet Voting: Technology in India is still evolving and has not matured enough to support absentee voting.
Mixture of Postal and Internet voting: If Election commission allows to download ballot on website and to send by mail, then it is perhaps good option.
Voting in Embassies/Consulates: Theoretically, this sounds like a good option. However, commuting to the nearest embassy/consulate, making arrangements for local body elections practically is not feasible.
Alternative Option: PROXY Voting
What is PROXY Voting? Delegate your vote to the person whom you trust back in India, so that your vote can be basted along with his/her vote with no overheads and implications specified in the above absentee voting options.
