Like many SE users, I have multiple accounts. I am wondering if I am allowed to write an answer with one, and vote for it with another?
I suspect the answer is no, but not being one to pass on rep, I thought I should ask.

Yes, you are able to do so. However it's not permitted even though it's possible, and when discovered all associated accounts may be punished. Since this is something that has been a problem from the beginning of Stack Overflow, the automated checks that test for this are very, very good. I suggest you don't do it unless you don't mind losing your accounts.– PollyannaCommented Sep 27, 2013 at 17:51

Nope. If you do that, it will end badly for you.
You can have multiple accounts as long as they don't interact in any way, or do something that someone with a single account could not.
Thanks for asking first!

NO
You shouldn't because you'll end up getting suspended for Voting Fraud.
