Can young voters learn to use a mailbox?
The outcome of a national mail-in vote in Australia this fall on sanctioning same-sex marriage may teeter on the answer. "I don't really know what the go is with post boxes, stamps, that kind of thing," says 23-year-old Anna Dennis. Ms. Dennis, a sociology student at the elite Australian National University, says the last time she had to mail a parcel "I took my dad to help."

"Australians don't do postal votes," [Tiernan Brady of Equality Campaign] says. "The last one was in 1917, so we can safely say no one alive remembers it."

Ms. Dennis says conservative parents who collect the mail at home might try to hide the ballot papers from their voting-age children. "My dad deals with the mail," she says.
Actually, the story does not say that anyone is calling this vote suppression. That last part of the quote is as close as it gets. But calling it that would be no less ridiculous than calling voter ID vote suppression, and people say that all the time.
Thanks for the post. From article:

Here in the USA, if my son should imagine that two men can "marry"
-- cultural appropriation -- he is free to do so and vote so.
The ones who try to knowingly tamper with voting in the States are
such as the Black Panthers, https://www.wsj.com/articles/SB10001424052970203550604574361071968458430 or Democratic party organizers, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDc8PVCvfKs .
