Chris,
A few ideas, not sure what sort of voting system you are looking to
implement.
Last month on the Plivo ( http://www.plivo.org/ ) mail list someone
posted about a voting system that they had developed for the Occupy
movement, now it was for people to log into a conference and the
listeners could listen and vote on issues using their key pad during the
call. ( site: http://www.peoplesskype.org/ )
And the other mentioned was using voipdrupal . (
http://drupal.org/project/voipdrupal and http://www.voipdrupal.org
<http://www.voipdrupal.org/> ) but it was unclear how they had
implemented it .

I know it's not what you asked but if you want to look into a really
cool solution, have a look at Twilio.
Here is an example using SMS voting, but adapting it to PSTN dialing
would be easy (there may be a PSTN voting system example as well, I
didn't search that hard).

If you've no idea how Twilio works, I'll attempt to quickly sum it up for you.
1) You dial a DID which rings into Twilio (or an SMS message in the
above example).
2) That triggers Twilio to send a request to any URL you want. e.g.
http://www.mydomain.com/twilio_vote.php
3) your php code (or any language you want) generates XML commands
which are sent back in the response to twilio.
4) Twilio follows your XML commands and interacts with the caller, for
example prompts for a vote via DTMF, etc. anything you can imagine.
This continues back and forth until the call ends.
It's all in the cloud so no need for your own PBX or asterisk. Very cool.
