In canada, if you don't have an id, you can get someone who knows you (and has an id) to swear an oath you are who you say you are. You can also register at the same time you are voting.

Seems to work fine. I dont think we have ever had any issues with that system.

Even more radical: in Australia you turn up at one of many polling stations with no ID whatsoever and vote.

It works because voting in Australia is compulsory. They must have your name on their list, they cross if off it and hand over the ballot paper. The checks and balances you might expect and done after the event, making it fairly secure.

Only of those checks is you did vote, and a fine follows if you didn't.
