I am not sure I understand. Votes are not resolved before a full turn has
passed, this is plenty of time. Are you concerned players might not
notice, or that some players might try this every turn (actually, every
second turn)?

In the first case, the client should notify players prominently of
suggested votes. (I'm considering adding a new packet for information like
this to avoid having to parse server output on the client end.) In the
second case... I don't know.

I don't really like the idea of making some votes special.

I supposed it did? If not, I can certainly look into it.
