I want to clarify something, which may not be well understood.
The federation of instances from which people post are autonomous. They’re run by different people, and have different rules. Posters are governed by the rules of the server they post from, not by the rules of every instance on which their post might end up being read.
My instance has no rules requiring warnings on posts about elections or voting. I would never use a server that did, because it’s a topic of major interest to me.
