  Paper works, and it works well. Anyone that can count can validate a single precinct
Add to that there's not really a need to speed up deployment of the results for elections and referendums in Switzerland.

Except for the "house of representatives" (Nationalrat) where it can take a tad longer due to the complexities of the vote, results are usually in at voting day before 6pm (Voting closes at noon).

I'm also deeply reluctant to accept the necessities of electronic voting. Given all parameters it's a really hard (if not impossible) problem to crack.

As a late sleeper, I find this voting system biased and unfair.

Sigh!

You don't have to show up on voting day in person. You can mail your vote in up to one month in advance. (Postage paid by your taxes)

You can chose not to vote for (usually dumb) reasons. But wanting to sleep in is not one of those.
