The lack of voting booths does seem a bit silly, in the UK during elections there is usually voting booths in pretty much every church, school and town hall so you'd struggle to live more than a mile away from one.

I once got called a "god botherer" by some kid after leaving to vote in a church, that was a bit bizarre.

On election day or in the month leading up to an election? We have plenty of places to vote at in Germany, but only on the day of the election, not for early voting.

Only on the actual election day.
Its not silly, its by design to disenfranchise voting, which benefits one party in particular.
