I mean, kinda. There are likely some blinded algorithms possible[1] in voting systems, and some crypto-systems allow you to falsify entries/queries so you can lie[2] (i.e. you can provide "proof" that you voted for anyone, so you can appear "on their side" if needed).
Are there any voting systems that have both of those qualities? I'm not sure, but I hope so, and the relatively-widespread existence of both seems like there's at least some possibility that one could be built.
