Voting has absolutely nothing to do with consulates or embassies. If there is one, maybe they do simplify voting, but the right to vote should go beyond the presence of any office.
This is what the US government allows to do: no matter where you are, we (try) to guarantee that you can participate.
There’s another word you should use instead of “medieval”: secure. Electronic voting is an incredibly hard problem to solve with the same level of privacy and integrity as paper ballots, and even harder to do in a way which the general public can trust.

It's actually awesome that this is allowed.
