Returning an election ballot: can you send it back with out the receiver knowing by my e-mail address who sent the message?
Election of organization officers ballot is sent via e-mail. To vote you select the persons you want then return e-mail. Doing so does not provide for a secret ballot since the receiver will be able to identify me by my e-mail address. Is there a way to return the ballot e-mail and not have my e-mail address show...if that can happen I know the receiver could eventually find an IP address and backtrack to my account, but the receiver will not do that.

It is not possible to send an email without using your email address. However, there is nothing stopping you from using an alias email address.
Most ISP set up an email address for you to use to get mail etc etc. But usually, they will allow you to create alias or additional email address. You could also get a free bee one from eg: gmail If that email address is not associated with the email address they have stored for your name then they would not know who it was associated with.
although they could try to work out IP address, if they really want to go to all that trouble.
You could of course print the form and send using the post.
It does get a bit flaky when trying to be private, but even local council/national ballots have a number issued to all ballots, so names are not disclosed, but all numbers can be linked to registerd voters. So not so private if someone wants to be bothered with reverse engineering. :)
