I understand that Gratiano keeps his special text when changes sect or get another sabbat title but i nedd hel to understand why he still able to use his +1 ballot on priscii sub referendum if he is not Priscus anymore, and rulerbook says that only priscus com cast ballots on priscii sub referendum

On my searchs i find that he stills cast his ballot but i dont found why he can paticipate from the sub referendum

Can someone point me to the rigth direction?

The Prisci Block: The prisci as a group have 3 votes. During a referendum, the prisci block of 3 votes is cast “for” or “against” the referendum according to the prisci sub-referendum. Each ready priscus provides 1 ballot for this sub-referendum, and votes may not be used in this sub-referendum. Each ballot cast is either “for” or “against” the main referendum. Whichever side has the greater number of ballots in the sub-referendum gains 3 votes in the main referendum. If the sub-referendum is tied, the prisci block abstains from the main referendum. As vampires cast their ballots in the sub-referendum, the prisci block of 3 votes might shift between “for”, “against”, and “abstain” (as the majority in the subreferendum changes). A vampire must cast all of their votes and ballots in agreement.

The referendum always occurs.
If there are no Priscus, it will typically tie 0-0.
Gratiano can change that.
