In Spain, voters are pre-registered. This means each voting table has a list of people who is allowed to vote at that table. In order to vote you need to show up with your National Identity Card and they check you and your card are in that list before they let you vote.

National Identity Card is an "existence tax" and it is mandatory to have past a given age. It also has a cryptographical chip with a certificate for use for signing and online banking and such.

I hate the fact it is mandatory for existing but the idea of voting tables that don't perform verifications is bananas. In fact the reason why so many people were wary of the Catanolian independence referendum was there was no verification mechanism in place so there was no way to guarantee people was not voting more than once at different tables.
