Thanks Daniel, I'll check it.

Opina would allow secret voting (with personalized links for every member
from an invitation mail automatically sent by the system). The only problem
is our way of voting with "I have 5 votes that can use all with the same
candidate", but that can be skipped easily.

Yes, that was my impression also. SurveyMonkey is 25$/month or so and a
well known solution, very similar to Opina.
