That's only issues because you choose them to be issues since there's no central constitutionally guaranteed process.
Most first-world countries simply require a polling location with certain number of booths per X people, require the maximum distance to one be Y kilometers which makes voting go swiftly. I've never waited in line to vote. Place elections on Sundays and ID's are already ubiquitous because you need them to function in modern societies. Like, I want to show my ID and then see my name be crossed of the list. It gives me the feeling of doing my part of upholding the integrity of the process.
The whole election is public, you can observe the polling locations and count. Just show up. This is mostly done by the political parties and watchdog groups.
Due to the size of the locations the first count is done a couple of hours after the election closes and the result is published the same evening.
We also simplified the process even more to allow you to vote up to 18 days advance of the election day at any place in the country. If you then decide to change your vote you can go to your polling location on the election day and the advance vote is thrown out.
