Oh you’re absolutely right- they TRY to get them in sooner... and the voters themselves try to GO as soon as possible - especially as the season is so back-loaded, they want to get to everything before the month of April when there are almost always 15-20 openings in the space of 3-4 weeks. But the other requirement is that they also see the show with the entire original cast... so if, for example (as was the case) principals from West Side Story were missing performances around opening due to illness or injury, those nominators would then have to be rescheduled to another date, and sometimes even more than once. (I have one friend who showed up 3 times to a show in a previous season and was basically sent away with an apology the first 2 times, due to a last-minute absence.)

There are only 5 potentially eligible shows that could re-open: Moulin Rouge, Tina, Jagged Little Pill, West Side Story, and Girl from the North Country. A Soldier's Play and The Inheritance closed a few days early but aren't re-opening. A nominating committee member presumably has seen all of the other shows. If West Side Story and Girl from the North Country withdraw, I would think that the nominating committee has generally seen the other 3 (with some exceptions, of course).
