What does this setting do?

This is how long players can cast their vote. The default of 60 seconds is a compromise: long enough to open a menu, short enough that nobody waits around for a minute.

What matters is its relation to the required turnout. A short vote only reaches those not currently in a firefight or an inventory — with a high turnout threshold, votes then fail almost every time.
