Seddon's suggestions seem reasonable. Regarding the comments concerning elections never intending to be totally perfect, that's not to say we have to neither resign ourself to imperfection, nor not try!

My fear isn't vote stacking, it's that the candidates make up a significant portion of the electorate which makes it infeasible for them all to abstain and I would rather not end up sitting on a board with someone that knows I voted against them (and I doubt I'm alone in that), it could be awkward.
If impartiality is what you are after, I would be willing to volunteer myself to help with the election. My time is short so I wouldn't be able to do too much. I can help count votes privately, but I couldn't manage the entire election. Since I'm neither a candidate nor a member of the electorate, it should assuage your concerns. Maybe one or two other impartial members of chapcom could help out here if you need it.
