I suspect he means that if the vote only has to be done roughly every 12 hours, then the player need only remember "It's 6 O'Clock - time to vote" (or whatever time they choose to vote each day), rather than always having to vote a little later than the previous day (and thus needing a reminder to avoid wasting a vote by voting a little too early).

The every-13-hours thing also means that the voting window will slowly move around the clock. I doubt any but the most hardcore of players would get out of bed in the middle of the night just to vote.

Personally I don't care either way, but I can see the reasoning behind such a suggestion.
