"they are using (IMHO) flawed system" Care to elaborate on this?

The reviewers found terrible opsec, lack of an appropriate threat model, and demonstrated the feasibility attacks both on the vote counting server and on the voting client.

For more information you can watch the video I linked above or read a summary here: https://estoniaevoting.org/findings/summary/

E-voting is flawed by design. The voting secret is lost.

(What is to stop the husband to control who the wife votes for, or vice versa?)

Don't vote remotely.

"and the only way to force individual voters to vote as you wish is to physically watch them vote."

Yes, exactly.

You can change your vote in private. If you're worried about getting locked up and/or murdered by your wife after she has seen who you initially voted for, then you could set up a cron job to change the vote even if you're no longer breathing.

In addition, the same problem applies to paper voting. What stops your wife from demanding that you wear a hidden live streaming camera when you go to vote, so that she can see you really cast your paper vote for the candidate she insists on?
