Electronic elections surely separate the 2 issues: Voting identification & Voting management. Both issues are heavy and I read that different implementations do different staff. You may have elections with 0 identification ( e.g. כוכב נולד ) and sensitive remote voting with a small number of people that needs minimum management.
