FUDforum does not allow anon users to vote by default simply because it is not possible to reliably track them. Most users do not have a static IP, meaning that this method of tracking users is notoriously unreliable allowing most users to easily vote as many times as they want.
Using cookies does not work as well, simply because many users (At least the ones trying to abuse polls) would be smart enough to clear their cookies, thus once again allowing them to vote multiple times.
