I can certainly understand your concern, and I think the definitive way to solve that is to have voting integrated into schools (which are often polling stations already)., but i think that doesn't make sense until voting age is lowered.
That said I think our system is already fairly resistant to coercion. If dad says vote CPC kids says "yes sir" and votes NDP and there is no possible way for dad to know the kid is lying.
I'll point out that there was a similar concern during suffrage and it turned out to be a non-issue.
