In the UK lists of voters marked with who did and did not vote are called
"marked registers". They are available to political parties and can be used to
check that no-one has voted on behalf of people who don't vote for religious or
other reasons.
In a system where there are no ID checks on voters I don't see how else you can
prevent impersonation of voters - obviously that isn't needed in our elections
because you can only vote when logged in.
