Stop! Did I got that right? Wasn't it the reason why you *want* to have 
anonymous vote
in the first place? :) Just let everyone vote as they want if they feel 
they need to vote
because of corporate reasons. In all cases, if someone is elected in an 
organisation
from the company s/he is working for then it's hard to expect from this 
person to do things
against that company. At least, this does not look good to me.
