Time to vote or vote time

Hi,
In node Voting/Experience system it is stated that

You will receive a certain number of votes per 24 hour day, the higher your level the more votes you receive.

It is not clear to me what 24 hour day means. Does it means that when I cast my first vote in a block the time is recorded and I have 24 hours more before my vote counter is reset? Or does it means from midnight to midnight? In the latter case, which time zone is used?

I'm asking this becaus this morning (intended as morning here, in MSDT timezone, I connected and found I still only had a vote to cast, reminder of my last connection. Now it is noon and I got a new 16 votes bunch.

What I would expect, is to have n votes to spent from midnight to midnight my timezone, but I understand that this can be hard to implement (see this node for a discussion about home note time). As a second best thing, I'd like to have to spend my votes from midnight to midnight monastery timezone, whichever it is. In this last case, however, I'd like to have somewhere on the pages the monastery time.

Cheers
Leo TheHobbit

    They're based on a GMT 24-hour day, starting at 9:00 am (I think). In Central Europe, the votes come around midmorning (10 am if I remember correctly), and on the U.S. East Coast in the wee hours of the morning. It doesn't matter if you're online or not.
