Zero knowledge proofs are the solution for verifying a vote was counted correctly without revealing what the vote actually was.

This still doesn't help, does it? If I can verify that I voted, and my vote counted for something, doesn't mean that the entire vote was counted correctly, or that everyone voted as they are saying they voted, or that a "corrupt government"[1] didn't flood the vote with their own fake votes.

[1] "Corrupt government officials" is the inevitable straw man in any blockchain discussions.
