I cast votes for ASF Board of Directors and go back to the same page to confirm that my votes are registered. While expecting to see my last cast votes, I am shown a fresh voting page with no hints to the votes I cast earlier. Could STeVe display the last cast votes, please?

Do you mean display which issues you have voted on, or are you looking for the actual vote (yes/no/whatever) that you cast?
You should see a marker for issues that you have voted on - they should have a darker color and a tooltip saying you have already cast a vote on the issue. As for seeing what you voted last, we are not going to allow that. Same reason as why you can't ask a polling place to see what you just wrote on your ballot that you threw in the ballot box.

It makes sense but maybe a note that this is the case. Something like "Your previous vote is recorded but will not be displayed. To change your vote you have to recast it entirely." Or something?

I found that we have some code like:

steve/pysteve/www/htdocs/js/steve_rest.js

Lines 872 to 877 in 2c40f86

if (issue.hasVoted) {
outer.setAttribute("style", "background: linear-gradient(to bottom, #d8d8d8 0%,#aaaaaa 100%); opacity: 0.55;")
outer.setAttribute("title", "Notice: You have already voted once on this issue. You may recast your vote if you like.")
} else {
outer.setAttribute("title", "You have not yet voted on this issue");
}

And I can see it when inspecting the webpage. But I don't see a virtual text element directly. The style difference can be seen if you know what it means.

AFAICT, there is a big difference: in a polling place with a physical ballot box, you can't vote multiple times for a duration of days, in the case of STeVe and ASF, you can. Hence, I think it makes sense to show users what they last voted for.

If the security is an issue, the state can be locally stored; in a cookie, etc.

I am not deep into browser security but I assume that could be a viable solution, as it doesn't require all the cool crypto we have to be discarded ^^. If the local browser is compromised all bets are off anyway :D
