In my country we have paper ballots, but I have (quite seriously) never lined up for more than 20 minutes to vote! Being a country with compulsory voting helps

Being a country with compulsory voting helps, because the system has to make it possible for everyone without a valid exceptional circumstance to be able to vote (would be unfair to be fined for not voting if you were still waiting in line to vote when the polls closed), and also they can quite accurately predict the kind of numbers they're going to get at the polling places.
