Year	Election type	Voting method	First year	Comments
2021	Presidential Legislative Central American Parliament	Not yet decided	Not yet applied	The consolidated Electoral Law (published 6 May 2021), Article 109, allows external voting for Presidential, Legislative and Central American Parliament Elections. However, this provision has not been implemented during the latest 2021 General Elections.
2016	Presidential	Personal	Not yet applied	The 2016 amendment to the Electoral Law does not change the Article 122. However, still external voting has not been applied in 2016 elections.
2000	Presidential	Personal	Not yet applied	Article 122 of the electoral law clearly foresees external voting, but it requires that six months prior to the beginning of the electoral process, the EMB decides, in consultation with parties, if conditions ordered by law are met. This still has not happened. (Research was conducted in 2012)
