How do I disable all buttons when one gets pressed in XCode?

Question

How do I make it so that when I press one button in XCode, the rest of the buttons (including the one that was pressed) become disabled? Of course I still want the function to be carried out by the button that gets pressed. I just don't want the users to be able to press any button more than once, nor do I want them to be able to press another button after they've already pressed a first one. Below are my IBActions for my two buttons in this case:

@IBAction func addVote1(sender: AnyObject) {

var query = PFQuery(className: "VoteCount")
query.getObjectInBackgroundWithId("BiEM17uUYT") {
    (voteCount1: PFObject!, error: NSError!) ->Void in
    if error != nil {
        NSLog("%@", error)
    } else {
        voteCount1.incrementKey("votes")
        voteCount1.saveInBackgroundWithTarget(nil, selector: nil)
    }

    let votes = voteCount1["votes"] as Int
    let votes2 = voteCount1["votes2"] as Int
    self.pollResults1.text = "\(votes) votes                 \(votes2) votes"
    }
}

@IBAction func addVote2(sender: AnyObject) {

var query = PFQuery(className: "VoteCount")
query.getObjectInBackgroundWithId("BiEM17uUYT") {
    (voteCount1: PFObject!, error: NSError!) -> Void in
    if error != nil {
        NSLog("%@", error)
    } else {
        voteCount1.incrementKey("votes2")
        voteCount1.saveInBackgroundWithTarget(nil, selector: nil)
    }

    let votes = voteCount1["votes"] as Int
    let votes2 = voteCount1["votes2"] as Int
    self.pollResults2.text = "\(votes) votes                 \(votes2) votes"
    }
}
}

UIButton have a property enabled so you can pass it at NO when you want disabled it and you check the sate of your button with a boolean. In the first time you boolean is true and your button is enabled and when you click on your button you change the value.

I don't know if it is clear for you and sorry for my english ;)
