Forgive me if I'm dense, but I don't think there is a definitive ruling.

The rule states, "You cannot display different messages based on whether someone voted or not, or reward a player for voting by not showing messages."

The grey area is whether it is outlawed to allow players to configure voting reminders, including configuring said reminder not to remind that player if he or she has already voted. Therefore, it is the players who are choosing not to have a message displayed based on how they configured their voting options. It seems to me that this is allowable under these rules, and keeps to the spirit of the rules in that the rules appear to be aimed at allowing players to remind themselves (or not) however they wish without interference, pressure or incentives by the MUD itself.

Anyway, that's my interpretation, and apparently others appear to interpret that rule likewise. If there's general disagreement, then I don't think it is completely out of line to ask for clarification.
