How about: "At the end of the voting period of an Agoran decision, the first N ballots submitted by each entity on that decision (where N is the entity's voting limit) remain valid; all other ballots submitted on that decision are invalid. Voting limits are measured at the start of the voting period, unless the proposal became or ceased to be ordinary during its voting period, in which case they are measured at the last such change."
