I remember watching a vote in the 90s when visiting my Oma in Bühler. Had to hike the hills until reaching the gathering. The voters stood in a roped area and voted by voice. I went because of the recent change to allow women. This was Appenzell Ausserohden, the second to last canton to grant the right.

Thank you, Jenny, for this article and kind regards from Switzerland.
PS: My Grandmother, Martina Haelg-Stamm was the first woman in the parliament of the Canton of Thurgau.
