Electronic elections are a great idea. Just not for public office.
I will give you that, but in the use cases you referenced, there is no
need for a specialty apparatus to perform the job... a general purpose
networked computer/phone/etc. can provide the client side service
required.
There are many other applications of election tech. Condo boards, clubs,
professional associations.
What makes a lot of these applications interesting and somewhat easier is
that very often, a ballot need not actually be secret.
