I don’t think an in-person electronic voting system needs to be any more difficult than current paper ballots.
Certificate management is more difficult than simply holding an ID card, going to a website/downloading a program is more difficult (and has more potential problems) than going to a polling station, and doing all the steps the program requires will hardly be as simple as "put paper in envelope".
