Did you miss the first line? It's not an investment, it's a crowdfunded (donation based)project like what is on Kickstarter or Inidegogo. Think of it as an interactive reality series. like a TV show, only it's real survival, by UNtrained people,  none of the hollywood glamour,  and the viewers get to decide what happens next.  $1=1 token, each token will give you a vote in each round, hard cap of 1Million votes.

My question here is could blockchain technology be used to keep track of the voting, in a public ledger that doesn't reveal identity. So that way everyone can see there is no manipulation in the vote from within.
I am not here asking for donations or an investment, just about the technology.

There is no way this project is going to be a successful one because there is no establishment or development taking place in this project.
Going in the woods and surviving ? Did i just read that right ? it looks like a movie scene to me. Investors don't want entertainment, they want heir money to grow and get big. The money you raise would be spent on all those expenses and you yourself say that the tokens would be of no use unless it is developed. Why would someone want to invest in such a project where the goal is nothing but a movie scene?
It is just my opinion and I in no way mean to offend anybody.

Thanks for your reply. I don't know if it is needed but I thought it would be a good way to spread the tech.

First off, this project is a crowdfunder, not a investment for profit. It is in very early stages of development. My end goal is to have a earth friendly establishment providing green energy, organic produce, and outdoor education and recreational activities for the community and do it all without government funding. Since I am not a rich man, this is the idea we currently have for fundraising:
I or a small group are going to get lost in the woods, far from civilization, and have to survive by our own wit out there for a time determined by the amount raised. No internet, no power, no contact with the outside world. All of it will be filmed and broadcast online constantly by an outside team. The rough time table is as such:
$125,000 raised- 30 days surviving in the woods
$300,000- 90 days
$500,000-180days
$1,000,000- 365 days

The kicker is that people will be able to vote on various things, including what will we can take in with us(including nothing), random airdrops contain supply  or junk, random events or challenges they get to choose what happens,  where live stream cameras will be. Pretty much anything that can be decided by the supporters, they will get to vote on it. It will be a community decision as to the fate of the surviors in the wilderness. It will be a real life survivor series, with supporters getting exclusive early access to the video content and updates and of course the votes.

This is where I thought a  block chain platform might be useful. Something that could be verified by the supporters at any time without revealing other supporters identity. Not only for the fundraising portion of this project, I would like to be able to incorporate the blockchain into the voting somehow, so the public can verify there is no manipulation. The voting would be ongoing the entire time. Votes purchased during the crowdfunding could be used once per ballot, but reusable on every ballot. My thought was to create a token (ERC20?) distribute to supporters and then those tokens be used as votes. Once the project and campaign is finished, the tokens would essentially be worthless, unless it somehow developed into an ongoing worthwhile thing.
Is this something that could be done simply from an existing platform, like ETH or RISE or KICKICO? Do you think block chain tech  is right for this endeavor?
How hard/expensive is it to develop something secure like this and maintain for a year?
Thanks in advance for your advice! All constructive comments welcome.
