Would it surprise you to hear that in Canada, we accept a very broad range of ID (a bank statement and a lease agreement for an apartment would do)? And even if you don't have any of that, you can still vote if another registered voter vouches for you? https://www.elections.ca/content.aspx?section=vot&dir=ids&document=index&lang=e https://www.elections.ca/content.aspx?section=vot&dir=ids&do... You can also register on election night. I did this a couple years ago when there was a provincial election shortly after we moved. And yet we don't have widespread electoral fraud.

In Australia we don't even need to present ID. Just tell the official your name and address and they cross it off a list. It's hard to believe a system that simple could work but as far as I know there haven't ever been any issues.

Vouching for you was acceptable in Slovakia/Czechia in past, but it seems they removed it in recent years since I can't find any information about it, but I clearly remember if election commitee member could confirm your identity or 1-2 other people they could let you vote even without any ID card. Btw. there is really no registration in Czechia/Slovakia, you will get voting tickets automatically to your permanent residence address without any additional registration, registration is necessary only if you want vote via mail or you want voting pass to vote outside your permanent residence.
