Clear explanation of a topic that rarely gets this much detail — the part on how limited ballots actually apply in local races was the most useful bit, and I ended up reading the whole piece twice. Between research sessions I have been unwinding with the noomiclone game, and this was a good read to come back to.
Really useful breakdown of limited ballots. The part about only certain races being eligible is easy to miss. I was comparing how different counties explain the same rules and found a clearer visual walkthrough over at mad drive, which helped it click for me.

This is a helpful breakdown of how limited ballots work in Texas. The distinction between a limited ballot and a provisional one, and the reminder that it has to be requested at the county registrar earlier than a regular ballot, cleared up a lot of confusion for me. I have also started keeping a small daily puzzle habit while reading up on election rules — perceptle game is a quick one that takes just a couple of minutes.
