You don't have to attribute any name to the transaction, just a voting booth ID and the vote. The actual benefit is just that it is hard to tamper and easy to trace where tampering happened.
But I still prefer the paper vote and I usually a blockchain apathetic.
Anonymous voting means that you can't sell your vote. Like, if I pay you $5 to vote for X, but I can't actually verify that you voted for X and not Y, then I wouldn't bother trying. Or if I'm your boss and I want you to vote for X... etc.

Monero demonstrates a solution (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_signature)
wouldn't that be a feature in this case?

Not really. Your ballot should be secret, which goes against blockchain, I guess.
The blockchain doesn't require your ID, just the voting station ID.
Any id can be correlated.
