Oh, this was interesting! I didn't even know that you use machines when voting. (And yes, I see your number 3, and I am not out to argue for or against, because I know nothing about them.)
In the Swedish elections, you choose a piece of paper that represents the party you want, and if you like, you can make a mark by the candidate you prefer (if you don't, you're voting for the party's own ranking of the candidates). And then you put the paper in an envelope. There are screens behind which you can do it in private, and then you hand in the envelope to the poll workers, who cross you off the list and put the envelopes in a box while you're watching. I assume the poll workers will help you if you're disabled, but I don't actually know how it would work.
You can also vote by mail during a month or so beforehand, and you don't have to register or anything--I mean, the state already knows who is a citizen and who isn't.
