Our policies aren't specific about release votes vs other votes, and we're not
talking about vetoing.
"Time Delays
Votes should generally be permitted to run for at least 72 hours to provide an
opportunity for all concerned persons to participate regardless of their
geographic locations.
(Since it does say "generally", it seems reasonable exceptions to the 72 hour
rule are allowed if you specify such in your vote, but let's always allow at
least 24 hours or at least 48 hours if the weekend is involved."
In general, having something as important as a release happening before
everyone involved even hears that there's been a vote, again, leads
to disenfranchisement.
