You can't use vote-for for this, because vote-for already has defined
semantics; it represents a vote that has been cast, not the ability to
cast a vote.  It's already possible to use vote-for in both rel and
rev; one indicates that the current page is a vote for the link
destination, the other indicates that the link destination is a vote
for the current page.  I think the latter is not be considered
authoritative.  If you want to say this page provides a polling place,
chose an attribute value that makes sense for that.  Design for humans
first, after all.

Using the previously suggested scenario, "Page A is a place where you
can create a vote for Page B, i.e. a polling place", you could have
these links:

On page A: <a href="pageB" rel="poll">The page being voted on</a>
On page B: <a href="pageA" rev="poll">Vote for this page here</a>

The first link says "the current page (page A) is a poll for the
destination of this link (page B)."  The second link says "the linked
page (page A) is a poll for this page (page B)."  I'm not suggesting
"poll" as the actual value to use, however; at least some research
should be done to see if there's a widely-used term that would be more
appropriate.

Hmmm, why not? Microformats do already define, that the XXX attribute with the
value of YYY does have meaning ZZZ. So in this case microformats has already
defined that the rev attribute with the value "vote-for" has some special
meaning. Why not define that the rel attribut with the value "vote-for" has
another meaning?
