Longer voting times?

So, a problem I have noticed using this plugin...If I start the voting I basically have until the server restarts or plugin reloads. My server restarts daily so no way around this, Once the server restarts/plugin is reloaded the voting ends. am I doing something wrong or is this just the nature of the plugin? I have tried adjusting the voting timer in the plugin but that does nothing due to the daily server restart reloading the plugin. 

No its saves the vote state during restart.

You need to configure the auto start vote.

Starting vote manually is just for testing.
