It's the way that notification works; it's not tied to the voting tool at all, it's just set to notify all registered users that voting is underway.
It will be taken down soon. You may briefly see it up next week just before voting closes.

It would be more helpful if the "last week to vote" announcement stated when voting closes. As it is, you must click through and read a lot of fine print to find the deadline.
Also, I don't understand the logic of when an announcement does and does not appear at the top of a page. Currently three of them are there when I search for new posts, but only one at the top of a forum. So someone could be using FT and not be shown some announcements. Other times I see announcements (such as that a mod for some other forum is out of office) for no apparent reason. The announcement about voting has gone missing during some periods since voting opened, but is now reappearing once again.
ADDED. Now the reminder to vote announcement has completely disappeared, even when I search for new posts (although three other announcements do appear).

This one has come and gone, and changed visibility, from time to time.
You'll likely see it again briefly at the end of this week, as voting draws to a close.

I see it now at the top of the Technical Issues forum, but I see three other announcements when I search for recent posts.

So how many days are going to be the "Last Day to Vote"? Seems like today is at least the third that I've seen the banner at the top of every forum I open.

Day 4 and counting. The banner consumes the entire screen on my laptop, for every one of the forums i open as a group.
