    How do you make sure in electronic, non-secret voting that people do not
    get pressured to vote a certain way (think of Neighbourhood, religious
    comunities, spouses, parents, employers, ...)?

You can't.  That is why government elections need secret ballots.

However, there are other kinds of votes which in general
are not secret.  For instance, votes of legislatures.  Votes within
many organizations.
