That's technically true also in my country (Spain), but if you talk with polling station presidents they will tell you there's a lot of allowed fraud and fake votes. Usually, they're not evil, but if you sum up one here and another... My friend had to invent two votes because they were missing in the ballot box, the political parties there agreed to do that like if it was normal. He was also very angry because there was no anonymous vote, he couldn't put all parties in the secret rooms, so you were only able to vote for some parties in public and not so anonymous rooms.
They all seem like small things, but you sum up... This year we had the most fragmented political spectrum and small differences make big changes. In Leon, a polling station made a mistake and put the votes for a party in a different row. Nobody there noticed the mistake except the far-right party Vox. One simple polling station mistake changes the mayor of the city because they were enough votes.
Another problem I see is the mail vote. Mail vote is extremely popular in Spain (4-5% of total votes) and it's very easy to manipulate, not able to be inspected.
