Oracle closes way too quickly

Yesterday I didn't have any time to get on NeoStake until the evening, so I was really surprised to see that the oracle voting had already closed for the "Starmer removed as PM by July?" and "Top Spotify Artist in June?" markets, even though the outcomes of both markets could only have been known yesterday.

The voting window for the Starmer market was only open for around 11 hours before it closed, and because of that my deposit was forfeited, even though I would have voted as soon as I had the chance. I had university during the day and simply wasn't able to open NeoStake earlier. My deposit was quite large, so I'd really appreciate it if you could look into this, as it feels quite unfair.

The same issue applies to the Spotify market. The outcome could only be confirmed after June 30 had fully ended, since the market ran until the end of the day. The Starmer market has the same problem—the markets were resolved before the relevant day had actually finished.

I also don't think it's right to vote before the official deadline. Even if the outcome is almost certainly known by then, it could theoretically still change, and there should be enough time for everyone to vote after the market has actually concluded. In my opinion, people who vote significantly before the deadline are mainly trying to receive their payout as quickly as possible, which goes against the spirit of the market.
