On ordinary decisions, the voting limit of a voter is eir voting limit at the start of the voting period (Rule 2156). The wording changed a bit with the introduction of castes (I believe it used to reference EVLOD instead of just "voting limit"), but the substance didn't. The validity of the votes is evaluated at the end of the voting period, but that evaluation is based on the VL at the start of the period, assuming the decision remained ordinary. The recent CFJ on the timing of evaluation had to do with decisions that became democratic before the end of the voting period; for these R2156 doesn't apply, and each first-class player who was active at the start of the voting period only has 1 valid vote, regardless of whether e votes before or after the decision is changed to be democratic.
