This is not correct. There was no "community election"; the community
is only empowered to /nominate/ candidates, which the board may or may
not appoint, at its whim.
Please be more careful to use accurate terms on such points, in the
future.
Multiple people put themselves forward for the community considerations. The
community then voted on it, resulting in a ranking by who got most votes
based on the voting system used. By definition, that's an election.
By definition, no, it is not. "An election is a formal group
decision-making process by which a population chooses an individual to
hold public office." In this case the choice of who holds office is
made by the board, not the community who "vote". At best it's a
nomination process.
