+1! This is immensely useful when running on hardware where builds can take a long time due to limited resources, like a Raspberry Pi.

Homomorphic encryption would allow tallying the ballots without decrypting them.

Helios [1], for instance uses an homomorphic scheme.

There are alternatives to it though which preserve voter privacy but allow vote tallying. Shuffling is one of them. Cothority [2] implements an e-voting scheme based on Neff Shuffles
