Yes you can. (Depending on what you mean by "a much lower voltage".)
I've attached a screenshot of the Kryotherm calculator showing a 172 Watt pelt pumping 50 Watts of heat while powered with 2.76 Volts. The calculated deltaT is 0C and the pelt power consumption is 4.55 Watts.
I'm curious. Why might you want to?
