Bhutan, Election Commission, Declaration Of Results Of The 4th National Assembly Elections, 2023-2024 (Primary Round); accessed 10 December 2023

“The overall voter turnout is 63%.  Of the total 4,97,058 eligible registered voters, 3,13,162 voters cast their votes. From the total votes cast, 1,95,719 votes were cast in person on the Electronic Voting Machines (EVMs) at the 809 polling stations and 1,17,443 votes were cast through Postal Ballots (PB-In-country & Overseas) and Special Early Voting (SEV).”

Final Report: EU Election Observation Mission, National Assembly Election 2008 (Page 15): "Certain groups (civil servants, diplomats, military personnel, election officials and students) were eligible to vote by postal ballot. The eligible postal voters list included 36,313 voters. The ECB extended the deadline for postal ballot registration from 7 February to 25 February 2008 and for receipt of postal ballots from 18 February to 1 March 2008 due to increased voter interest, particularly among students and teachers who had just returned for the new school term."

Postal voting from abroad was also used in the latest Parliamentary elections in 2013. Sources: Report 1 and Report 2
