I did something similar at work. Basically, the URL to the voting system
was sent out automatically to a list of email addresses. When the user
fills in the form, the address is marked off as used. One requirement
was that the form be completely anonymous, so the results were stored
with no link back to the user who made them. Also, only add the voting
results if the users email address has not already been used.

If you're really worried, use SSL to protect it from interference.
