Ok then i misread ...

Turn 23
A: vote bla
Turn 24
B: vote yes 
Turn 25 -> execute the vote.

That is bad for votes on timeout, cut or aitoggle.

Yes special cases are a bad idea. But i think votes should be executed

more than 50% of the players vote for (no veto)
after the 2 turn rule 1 or 2 players vote for it (no veto)
