Yeah, I think it's a (2d?) continuum between "letting people make up all sorts of commandments on the spot in order to manipulate and disadvantage other people" and "respecting things that are completely core in someone's identity". If someone can only vote between 5:15 and 5:17 on the first Tuesday of March, then they probably have to accept they can't vote. If someone can only vote if the voting hours are extended to 10pm, for one particularly important referendum, hopefully that can be worked round.
