Electronic voting should be used to forecast votes and offer confirmation/more data points, and nothing more. It's just too hard to secure currently, and the influence problems (lack of anonymity, possibility of election tampering) isn't worth the risk currently.
Electronic voting could also be used simply as a way to save and fast-track the voting process, making it more convenient. Confirm your votes on the app, get to upload them in-bulk to the machine (via QR code or something), and all you have to do is confirm. Lots more time to think about the vote, but you still have t confirm in person.
Longer, more casual access to voting booths and mandatory paid time off is the best thing most democratic/semi-democratic systems could do to help voting these days.
