When you are playing an action modifier that gives you votes do you have to
play it before voting starts? Can you play if after everyone else has cast
their votes? Can you play it while votes are being cast?
I would assume that you can only play it before voting is finished, becuase it
"gives you votes" and if you used it after voting is done you couldn't do
anything with those votes.
Could someone email the answer to me? Thanks.

Well, in my circle we played that those action modifiers could be played
during voting. I admit though I didn't gave much thought to this matter
and maybe I should. Offhand, I would say you could since a political
action is not completed until the vote is passed or (previously) blocked.
An other argument in this sense is Delaying Tactics, a Reaction that
cancels a political action. It does not say when to play it (as in
immidiatly after a political action passes blocking phase, or anytime
during voting (like if you see your side won't win)), so we can suppose
we can play it anytime.
And yes, they can only be played during voting (else, what for? wasting
valuable votes to gain what???)

You would be able to use it while votes are being cast (and most say you
would have to use it then, not before), and could wait to see how people
were casting their "free" votes (from princes, Ventrue Headquarters, and
so on) before deciding whether to use an action modifier or reaction to
gain votes. Remember that you can't use action modifiers or reactions
during a bloodhunt vote.

Right, you would have to use it before voting had closed.
