Yes everything about voting gets simpler if you throw away the anonymity aspect. The election can be better audited[1] and you can be too if you voted for the wrong party. You would also probably get to discover the market price of votes in marginal constituencies. [1] Audited, fired from a government job, beaten, not to mention social, religious or family pressures to vote in a particular way. The reality or fear of these things could influence elections if not so much in the West but if these standards were adopted where elections are a little more life threatening (I'm thinking of Kenya but there are probably many other examples too).
