The reason they could upgrade the lander on the J-missions was that the Saturn V payload was uprated, so the total payload could increase 2.4 tonnes to nearly 46.8 tonnes (if my googled numbers are accurate).
1. You don't register to vote, you receive your voting card to your home address
2. This is not a big problem
3. Voting is always on a Sunday
The voting process in itself is amazingly manual in this hi-tech age:
You select pre-printed voting sheets (about the size of an A6 paper) with party name and a candidate list. You can select a candidate from the list, otherwise you accept the party's nomination order.
If your party doesn't have pre-printed sheets (all major parties have, the printing is free if you register a couple of thousand people) in your area, you can write the party name with a pen on an empty sheet. There are always a couple of hundred votes for Donald Duck-party every time.
Go into a booth, put one sheet for state, one for region and one for city government into their envelopes, glue them up, stand in the line, show your voting card and ID and vote.
OK, we're a small country so we can have voting districts with a couple of thousand people in each.
Preliminary results are often ready within about 4 hours, complete in two-three days.
