Yes they should, unfortunately I don't think that's technically possible with the fediverse model as the servers have to communicate that info over Activity pub, at least that's my understanding of it.
It's not technically possible with any model. Votes on Reddit are only kept private from other users -- staff could look them up or reveal them to someone any time they wanted and you'd never know.
Even if you allowed voting without an account (which would be so easily manipulated that it would be worthless), you'd still be identifiable from your IP.
