    All die obigen Vorlagen sind für mich als Auslandschweizerin sehr interessant und ich würde mich gerne beteiligen. Leider erreichen mich die Unterlagen aber immer zu spät, sodass die Zeit nicht reicht, alles richtig durchzulesen, und dann das unterschriebene Abstimmungsdokument zur Post zu bringen. Ich habe schon zweimal reklamiert und gebeten, mir die Unterlagen eher zu zu stellen, aber mir wurde gesagt, dies sei nicht möglich. Es scheint, dass die Stimmen der Auslandschweizer/innen nicht erwünscht sind.
