Signature verification only really matters if you have several ballots purporting to be from the same person.
Otherwise, they usually don't bother checking the signature.
How do you propose to do user authentication more securely on your phone? Keep in mind that several people may have access to this phone, including spouses and children.

The kid might be able to convincingly forge their parents' signature. They can almost certainly do whatever "e-verification" that diebeforei485 had in mind.
