I don't think that will be necessary.
By rule 107 (b), the notice initiating an Agoran decision must give a
``description of the class of eligible voters sufficient to enable
public agreement on which persons are eligible''. Therefore, the
class of eligible voters is set when the decision is initiated and
cannot be changed unless specific rules permit it.
By rule 683 (a), a ballot is invalid if it is not submitted by an
eligible voter. By rule 955 (b), the vote collector only counts valid
ballots when determining the will of Agora, so the voting limit of an
ineligible voter is irrelevant.
As you point out, rule 1950 indicates that voting limits are
determined at the time the decision is initiated. Of course, this
only affects players who were eligible when the voting period started.
As I argued above, these are the only players who can submit valid
ballots on the decision.
