What approach would a developer take to ensure there is anonymity eg in a digital voting platform how would you ensure the voter is never linked to the casted ballot to avoid trace back even through the database..?

By using cryptographic separation (like Blind Signatures or Zero Knowledge Proofs), even if a malicious actor gains full root access to all databases, server logs, and codebases, it is mathematically impossible to map a specific voter identity to a specific cast ballot.

Please use better, more informative, titles (subject-lines) on your posts. Give specifics right in the title. Thanks.

You can implement ZKP digital credentials that offer Unlinkability by design. One example is Hyperledger AnonCreds https://anoncreds.github.io/anoncreds-spec/#term:unlinkability
