If you have "Accelerator" extension, do this:

Run in server console such command:

sm exts list

You'll see something like this:

sm exts list
[SM] Displaying 14 extensions:
[01] [L4D2] 8+ Players BugFixes (1.0.6): This extension try fix some bugs on server have more than 8 players
[02] Accelerator (2.5.0): SRCDS Crash Handler

As you see, Accelerator is under number "02", so you need set ConVar "sm_voterestart_unload_ext_num" to 2 in cfg/sourcemod/sm_voterestart.cfg file (change to your own order number).
