You can't completely. It's a lot like vote-buying in general. You can have
laws, some oversight, and prevent the majority of it. Some will slip through
the cracks though.
If you can make the ideological point that voting for paid political speech is
like voting for political office in the sense that one-person, one-vote is
essential to democracy, then enforcement will not be a killer.

ps: If you want, you can establish a system in which citizens privately inform
the Treasury's computer how they want their voucher distributed.
