From what you have said, it is all done behind the scenes: you register directly with the government, you get a ballot, you mail it in, you get the results.  Don't misunderstand - it sounds incredibly efficient.  I'm jealous.  But I do enjoy that the public here is encouraged to participate at every little step of the process: from registering voters to being election judges, even if it does result in a lot more incompetence and therefore more room for error.  Its probably a different mentality.  I think if we put our government totally in charge of their own elections, we would have even less trust in the system than we have now.
