Australia has a secret ballot and uses paper ballots, as does France. I’ve voted in both countries and both see you drop a piece of paper into a ballot box, and both have seen me offered to hang around after the vote is complete to help count (I’ve not been able to find the time to do this in Australia where it would be watching more than counting, but in France I got to help count the vote). While I never saw ‘my’ vote, the process was such that it was a secret who I voted for, there was a hard copy of my vote, and it was more-or-less impossible for my vote not to be counted (marked off on a list of voters at the moment of voting, had to show ID to vote in France). If the machines won’t offer a solution, maybe a traditional paper and pencil (Australia) or simple piece of paper in an envelope (France) could do it.
