Vote and save to a list?

I've been invited to build a voting system which allows an anonymous user to select their favorite image on screen by pressing a button associated with that image. The user can select up to 7 items they want to vote for. Then a thank you message pops up. I can handle most of this via javascript.

But here is the magic I am looking for:
When the user clicks the button associated to that specific image (and there may be 10 images on the page), I would like information to go to a list in my admin panel, which I can view and export to file. Is there anything like this in CMSMS?

I searched online and the only thing I can find in regards to voting is polls and stars.

Thanks

Try ListIt2 with ListIt2FEEdit where the button is a submit button for a form containing hidden fields with the info about the image. When clicked the info is saved in your custom LI2 instance.

(If you could only vote for 1 image then Polls would be suitable because it saves results in the back end).

many thanks psy and paulbaker,
I will play with both approaches to see what my options are, then send my feedback here.
