Poor choice of wording on my end, I was coming up with the idea on the fly. I'm sure someone else can come up with something better with a bit more thinking :)

ID keys have to be issued by the gov but the vote signature keys can be derived from them and/or signed by a 3rd party like an NVO or a combination of govs/NVOs.

Having tried, it's a little more difficult than applying a bit more thinking. Specifically, the criteria that you can't trace a voter to a vote but you need to ensure a voter only has one vote (or at most one if voting isn't mandatory) is really hard to reconcile. I also happen to believe a way might be found but by handwaving "zero knowledge proof" in the same way that you're handwaving blockchain.
