I've said it before on this forum, but the Netherlands has a not dissimilar system to Ireland.
Polling stations? All elementary schools have one, the central hall is cleared for it. Registering to vote? If you are 1) a citizen of the Netherlands, 2) at least 18 years old and 3) have a known address you are registered to vote. When you are registered to vote you will receive atleast 14 days before the elections a postcard sized card with your name, instructions on what you need to take with you to the polling station, where the nearest polling station is, how to request permission to vote somewhere else, a short form to authorise somebody else to vote on your behalf and on what date the vote is and when the station opens and closes. Voting may happen in any of your municipality's polling stations and if you lose your card or didn't receive one while you have the right for one you can always ask by letter, with 5 days lead time, or in person, before noon the day before the vote, for a new card.
Voting happens on paper, like Ireland the Netherlands tried machine voting but it was found too vulnerable to hacking and it was difficult to store the ballots to a satisfactorily secure extent. All ballots are stored until the next round of votes, and trying to manipulate them would take ages compared to, say, getting access to the computer storing the results and changing the votes with a program.
Voting disenfranchisement happens, but it's a very unusual judicially assigned punishment, and only when the judge deems it proven that the perpetrator acted with the intent to subvert the democratic process.
