Like what? There aren't any electronic systems that aren't anywhere close to as secure and secret as bits of paper.
Well what would be better would be like the US system where the ballot papers are generic and you fill in your own details rather than having to have the specific paper with a printed code on it. Hell, they could even just send me a PDF of my own paperwork and have me fill it in and post it back. Perversely they accept that for a proxy vote, just not for an actual vote (as obviously the person using my proxy has the right paperwork).

I think the problem with print at home ballot papers is they might all end up looking different (eg I have a laser printer with a knackered drum that leaves lines on things) and then a ballot ends up being identifiable during the count which isn't allowed and so could lead to a high number of rejected postal ballots which some might say is worse.
Apparently there are only 285,000 registered overseas voters so improving the system probably isn't very high up anyone's list. On the other hand faster postal services wouldn't cost a lot more while volumes remain low.

Perhaps a proxy vote but I suppose that is difficult if you moved away sometime ago and don't know anyone in your constituency anymore.
