you can use this code

add_action('init','random_add_rewrite');
function random_add_rewrite() {
   global $wp;
   $wp->add_query_var('random');
   add_rewrite_rule('random/?$', 'index.php?random=1', 'top');
 }

 add_action('template_redirect','random_template');
 function random_template() {
   if (get_query_var('random') == 1) {
           $posts = get_posts('post_type=post&orderby=rand&numberposts=1');
           foreach($posts as $post) {
                   $link = get_permalink($post);
           }
           wp_redirect($link,307);
           exit;
    }
 }

 add_action('init','vote_add_rewrite');
 function vote_add_rewrite() {
   global $wp;
   $wp->add_query_var('vote');
   add_rewrite_rule('vote/?$', 'index.php?vote=1', 'top');
 }

add_action('template_redirect','vote_template');
function vote_template() {
   if (get_query_var('vote') == 1) {
           $posts = get_posts('post_type=post&orderby=post_date&numberposts=10');
           foreach($posts as $post) {
                   $link = get_permalink($post);
           }
           wp_redirect($link,307);
           exit;
    }
 }

ANd then use this for random redirect

 <a href="http://.....com/?random=1/" >Random Post</a>
