You must not be able to prove who you voted for. Otherwise you are still at risk of retaliation, coercion and can sell your vote. For the very same reasons the government must not be able to know who you voted for either.

Secret paper ballots really deserve more credit. The tech might be old but it gets the essential features right.

So the government knows what you voted? Great.
