Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):
- Add a global username (with a lot of SUL links; in this case I used ArielGlenn) to the override list for a global election (in this case https://vote.wikimedia.org/wiki/Special:SecurePoll/votereligibility/1364 )
- Save the page
What happens?:
- A DBTransactionSizeError is thrown:
To avoid creating high replication lag, this transaction was aborted because the write duration (3.800598859787) exceeded the 3 second limit. If you are changing many items at once, try doing multiple smaller operations instead.

#8 {main}What should have happened instead?:
- The username should be added.
Other information (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.):
- This can be worked around by adding only a local instance of the user to the override list, e.g. ArielGlenn@metawiki, and having the user vote from that wiki directly.
- See also the very similar request T289797: Override list should allow for global usernames which should resolve this issue
