Taler is anonymous for the payer, but not for the payee. For example you can buy or rent a movie online, know who you are paying and have a cryptographic prove you paid (to use if you have to redownload the movie file or access streaming), but the service and payment processor won’t know who you are. When buying with delivery of course they would require a shipping info and customer name for things like warranty, but the fact what you bought won’t be available to processor like is now with credit cards.

Hope I explained it well. For voting, this is not about voting at all.
