From the picture, I guess: "I hope it is not too late already
to vote for the Greens?"

While I agree that "already" is a kind of opposite of {za'o},
I don't think it could be its se-transform (if that was grammatical). 
I would expect that if {za'o} corresponds to some broda such
that za'o = fi'o broda, it would be something like
"x1 occurs beyond natural ending point x2", so that {se za'o}
would mark the natural ending point of some other event. 

One of the meanings proposed for experimental {xa'o} is what 
you want: happening before the natural/expected time.
